Pioneer studies in earth pene

tiles dropped 4,000 feet from
helicopters, are being conducted
this week at Texas A&M.
The joint tests involve Texas
A&M’s Civil Engineering Depart
ment and the Sandia Corporation
of Albuquerque, N. M.
Sandia, a Western Electric
subsidiary which operates under
a non-profit contract with the
Atomic Energy Commission, re
cently awarded $50,000 to Texas
A&M for earth penetration re
search.
Dr. Louis Thompson, associate
professor of civil engineering and
principal investigator for the
project, said the tests are de
signed to provide data concern
ing the fundamental physical
processes involved in the rapid
movement of earth.
The field is so new that until

describe it. Sandia has since
coined the term “terradynamics.”
Terradynamics, notes Sandia’s
project supervisor, W. N. Caudle,
can be likened to aerodynamics.
However, instead of dealing with
the relationship of a vehicle to
atmospheric environments, terra-
dynamics is concerned with the
“flows” and resistance of various
earth materials—soil, rock, water
and ice—to penetrating vehicles.
In the current series of tests
at Texas A&M's Easterwood Air
port, flat-nosed 10-foot projectiles
are released from helicopters
hovering 4,000 feet overhead and
strike the earth’s surface at ap
proximately 250 feet per second.
The projectiles are equipped
with small parachutes to limit
penetration to about 12 feet. The
parachutes also support small
radio transmitters which relay
data from instruments inside the
projectile to associated ground
equipment.
The instruments include strain
gauges to measure changes in the
vehicle’s length, accelerometers to
measure deceleration time during
the vehicle’s earth penetration
and a velocity gauge.
Following the penetrations, a
team of Texas A&M and Sandia
specialists make dtailed studies
of earth formations caused by the
entering vehicles.
The tests also include precise
excavations to study effects on
the sub-soil and to retrieve the
vehicle for analysis.
Caudle said information ob
tained from the experiments has
a variety of practical applica
tions. It could, for example, be
used to help determine soil pro
files for engineering projects in
inaccessible areas, such as might
be encountered in canal construc
tion. Conceivably, the process
also could be employed for dis
posal of radioactive materials.
