SUN A scientific belief which has ex- isted so long it has been considered an axiom has been shown to be er- roneous as a result of research by Prof. C. E. Sandstedt of the Texas A. & M. College civil engineering department. Sandstedt has shown conclusive- ly that all material is acted upon by an original force which he has called cohesion. Engineers hereto- fore always have believed no pres- sure existed in a material unless that material carried a load. The discovery, in the opinion of A. & M. engineers, promises to be of great value to engineers and architects in specifying material for construction purposes, to metal- lurgists in working out new alloys and to chemists and physicists. One of the most important fields of ap- plication for the discovery prob- ably will be that of soils. Sandstedt showed in his research that all material may be consider- ed as made up of very small mag- nets, each attracting the next one to it with such force a pressure or compressive stress is produced be- tween them. This attraction, he said, is the cohesion in the ma- terial. In measuring the attraction or cohesion, Sandstedt made use of lines which appear on the surface of a material when it is being test- ed. He showed that the angle made by these lines is a measure of the frictional resistance and also a measure of the degree of hardness of the material. Sandstedt’s associates at A. & M. call this angle the “Sandstedt Angle.” By use of the angle and the stress at failure, Sandstedt not only is able to calculate the cohe- sion in the material but also is able to establish the relation between the values of the stresses in ten- sion, in compression and in shear at the point of failure of the ma- terial. A member of the C. E. Dept. since the early twenties, Mr. Sand- stedt is well known to hundreds of |A. & M. Engineers. He makes his home on the campus and has re- received wide-spread commendation for his original research work. Carroll B. Wheeler, ’35, resides at 3003 Hazel Street, Texarkana. A. & M. PROF.
