Abstract
A PRIOR application of pressure may alter the properties of a liquid when subjected to tension. Harvey1 found that precompression of water up to a pressure of 1,000 atm. increased its ability to withstand tension. In his experiments the tension was generated by means of a hammer blow, that is, the liquid was subjected to stressing under ‘dynamic’ conditions. In our work we have applied tension under ‘static’ conditions and have investigated the effect of precompression using the Berthelot tube method described by Temperley and Chambers2.
