Abstract
A method of measuring the dynamic tensile strengths of liquids, involving the use of an electrical pressure bar, is described. Cavitation phenomena in water subjected to large transient tensile stresses have been observed using a spark shadowgraph technique. Under similar conditions of transient loading the cavitation thresholds of water and of glycerol are approximately 17 × 106 dynes/cm2 and 63 × 106 dynes/cm2 respectively.Keywords
