The ab initio production of a tension pulse in a liquid has been described previously by Overton and Trevena (1981). The work described in this paper is a development of those earlier experiments. First a description is given of the way the amplitude of the tension pulse is influenced by stressing frequency, together with a determination of cavitation thresholds. Secondly, the influence of entrained gas on the amplitude of this threshold is discussed; and thirdly a study is made of the first positive pressure pulse resulting from bubble collapse.
