Abstract
The strength of hexane and glycerol was measured under impulsive tension produced by interaction of a triangular compression pulse with a free surface. The tests were performed for strain rates of 104–105 sec−1. It is established that the strength of hexane is equal to 14 MPa and does not depend on the strain rate, whereas the strength of glycerol increases from 57 to 142 MPa with an order of magnitude increase in the strain rate. The possibility of using the model of homogeneous nucleation to interpret the data obtained is discussed.
