CAMPUS INTERVIEWS APRIL 26 Or you may tend inquiries to: Mr. Charles S. Fernow Administrator of Technical Education 4JMK4 Prof Tests Resistance To Impact Dr. Norman Davids, professor of engineering mechanics, is con ducting a research project to im prove the resistance of materials to impact and shock. The project, sponsored by the Office of Ordnance Research of the U.S. Army, has been renewed for the third consecutive jrea> - . Scabbing Defined I The title of the project is “A Theoretical Analysts of Scabbing in Materials.” Scabbing, Dr. Davids explains, is a type of damage which is pro duced in a thin solid material by a suddenly applied pressure of great intensity, such as an ex plosion. The name itself refers to the pieces of disk-like shapes which tend to flake off from the : material. Little Known About Cause Very little is known about the cause of scab formations beyor.d the fact that shock and stress j waves are present. In the course iof the research. Dr. Davids and i his colleagues are finding out how these waves behave in the materials. They hope that these analyses will help scientists to i learn more about making strong j er materials and to develop meth ods for protecting themr I Working on the project with I Dr. Davids is Sudhir Kumar, a [research assistant and a candi date for the doctor of philosophy (degree. Two graduate research I students are also working on problems relating to the project. Geography Prof To Tour Russia j Dr. Allan L.
