INVESTIGATIONS CARRIED ON BY THE ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT STATION IN COOPERATION WITH TECHNICAL INDUSTRIES Car Wheel Investigation The Railway Engineering Department, under a cooperative agreement between the Association of Manufacturers of Chilied Car Wheels and the Engineering Experiment Station is carrying on a series of experiments upon car wheels. The inv.estigation has been in progress for about three years. The experiments are for the purpose of obtaining information concerning the strength, wearing q uali ties, and design of car wheels. I t is hoped tha t the resul ts will assist in making stronger, safer, and eheaper car wheels. 25,000,000 of these wheels worth about $400,000,000 are in use in the United States and Canada. About 3,000,000 wheels worth about $50,000,000 have to be produced each year. Cooperative Mine Investigations The Engineering Experiment Station through the Department of Mining Engineering cooperates with the State Geological Survey and the U. S. Bureau of Mines in carrying on investigations, and in disseminating information based upon these investigations with a view of improving conditions in the mining, quarrying, metallurgi­ cal and other mineral industries; in safeguarding the lives of the employees; in preventing unnecessary waste of resources. A general survey has been made of the geological and mining conditions throughout the State. lnvestigations are now in progress which deal with problems connected with the methods of mining, with the percentage of extraction of coal, with the sub­ sidence of the surface and with the manufacture of illuminating gas. Investigation of Warm-Air Furnaces and Furnace Heating Systems This work is being conducted in the Mechanical Engineering Labaratory under a cooperative agreement between the National Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Association and the Engineering Experiment Station. The determination of the efficiences and capacities of warm-air furnaces, as well as proper conditions of installation and operation, is necessary to secure accurate ratings and to guide in the selection of equipment which will give desired results. The two most important problems involved in the in­ vestigation are the accurate determination of the amount of air flowing through the system when the furnace is operating under its own motive head as in an actual installation, and the correct measurement of the air temperatures throughout such a system. This investigation has been in active progress since Oct­ ober, 1918. The experimental furnace plant is the equivalent of a three story house equipped with a complete furnace heating system. The furna.ce manufacturers of the country contribute liber­ ally toward the work. lnvestigation of Stresses in Railroad Track The investigation was undertaken to learn the way the rails, ties, ballast, and roadway act under the Ioad of locomotives and cars. Most engineering structures have been . designed with a knowledge of the action of the component parts and of the structure as a whole öbtained from tests or in other ways, but, strange to say, very little was known of the amount and nature of the stresses developed in track until this series of tests was begun five years ago. Engineers in charge of railroads feit that the increasing size of locomotives and cars and the difficulties found in constructing and maintaining ~rack of adequate strength and durability made it highly desirable that a comprehensive investigation be carried out. The tests have given results of much value to engineers interested in railroad work. With a poorly counterbalanced locomotive, stresses in the rail as great as 50,000 lb. per sq. in. have been measured. The stresses in the cross ties are found to vary greatly with the conditions of the tamping. The field tests have been conducted on the Illinois Central Railroad and other important lines. The laboratory tests have been carried on in the laboratories of the University. The work is under the charge of a joint committee of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the American Railway Engineering Association, with the cooperation of the Engineering Experiment Station. A leading engineering journal says of the preliminary report: "The investi­ gation is a classic. A new page in the book of engineering has been written." · lnvestigation of Fatigue of Metals Under Repeated Stress An investigation of the resistance of metals to breakdown under repeated loading is being carried on in the Materials Testing Laboratories of the University. There occasionally occur failures in automobile springs, crankshafts, car axles, and in other machine parts which are subjected to millions of loadings in their daily use. Occasionally, too, cracks develop and spread in steel bridges and elevated railroad structures. Such gradual breakdown of metal is a subject of great interest to all who use machinery, and became of acute moment in connection with the airplane during the war. A of committee the National Research Council was formed to study this phenomenon and the work of that committee is being continued under a joint arrangement between the Engineering Foundation, which finances the work, the National Research Council, and the Engineering Experiment Station. Investigation of the Coking of Coal An investigation of the coking of coal, in cooperation with Mr. A. T. Hert of the American Creosoting Company, h,as been completed recently. A new process developed during the investi­ gation may revolutionize the coking industry. A STuDY FOR THE ExTENSION OF THE CAMPus OF THE CoLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, LooKING NoRTHWEST.

ENGINEERING OPEN HOUSE 1990

MARCH2&3

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN WELCOME TO EOH '90

One of the mostvenerable and fruitful traditions of this distin­ guished College of Engineering is the annual Engineering Open House. This activity, run largely by engineering students, provides thousands of visitors the opportunity to observe the spectacular range of excitement and progress possible through the discipline of engineering. The exhibits allow our students to demoostrate on a grand scale their creativity and involvement in the profession of en­ gineering. But perhaps the most important function of Engineering Open House is to offer a glimpse of engineering to young men and women contemplating career choices. We especially hope that the high school students attending EOH will sense the importance of technology to the future well-being of inhabitants of this planet. The need for a technically literate citizenry is now recognized as a foundation essential to the security of our nation.

We trust that you will fmd enjoyment, education, and challenge as you follow the "Dare to Discover" theme of EOH '90. It is a pleasure to welcome you to our College and to extend our wishes for a produclive visit.

College of Engineering University of lllinois at Urbana-Champaign Dear EOH Visitor:

W elcome to the 1991 Engineering Open House, Looking Beyond the Horizon.

As you know, we are less than a decade away from the beginning of the 21st century. Within the next ten years-just beyond the horizon­ most of you visiting our campus today will be finishing your educations and embarking on your careers. Some of you will go on to become the engineers and scientists who will influence our world' s technological future.

So, as you walk around the campus during EOH, please take a little time to talk with the young men and women who are presenting their work through displays and demonstra­ tions. Ask them questions about the engineer­ ing field they 've chosen, why they are studying engineering, and what they plan to do after graduation.

Then take a moment to imagine yourself in their place. Spend some time "looking beyond your horizon." Perhaps you, too, would like to help shape the science and technology of the next century.
