Dr. Joseph Marin, professor of engineering mechanics, in charge of the project, explained that the stresses and temperatures to which the sphere was exposed were comparable to the stresses exerted on the welded plates of ships and to temperatures some times encountered at sea. In the test, a hollow metal sphere, 20 inches in diameter and one-half inch in thickness, was used. The sphere was subjected to stresses from internal fluid which paralleled stresses on the welded plates of the Liberty ships. When the temperature reached minus 40 degrees, the sphere cracked. The $lB,OOO experiments, spon sored by the Welding Research Council with funds provided by industrial organizations, will be continued. Assisting Dr. Marin are J. H. Faupel and V. L. Dutton, research assistants, S. S. Eckley and Homer Johnson, mechanics.
