Abstract
The authors describe experiments concerned with the limiting negative pressure (that is, tension) which water can sustain when stressed dynamically by propagating a pulse of tension through a vertical column of the liquid. The effect of boiling and deionization increased the ability of the water to withstand tension. A single sample of water was subjected to repeated tensile failure at regular time intervals and it was found that the breaking tension that could be sustained tended progressively to an upper limit of about 11.0 atm as this type of stressing proceeded. The breaking tension is a maximum at around the temperature corresponding to the maximum density of water.Keywords
