โœฆ Synopsis

Eolian (wind blown) sand constitutes a very serious problem to development in sandy desert lands and causes equally serious problems in lands that are undergoing desertification. In this paper, eolian sand movement due to bulk movement such as sand dune and ripple movement, sand drift by saltation, and sand storms by strong winds are discussed. Associated problems such as eolian sand encroachment on highways, farms, communities and industrial complexes are also discussed and workable solutions are offered. Solutions include chemical stabilization of the surface grains, fences to trap the blown sand and vegetation to prevent soil deflation. Vegetation is emphasized and recommended as the ultimate viable solution tO combat desertification and eolian sand problems.

Three-dimensional contact problems in the classical theory of linear elasticity can often be regarded as mixed boundary-value problems of potential theory. In this paper we examine the problem where contact between the indenting object (called a punch) and the elastic medium is maintained over an in
