Journal Article
Williams, P. R., & Williams, R. L. (2003). Measurements of the cavitation threshold of multigrade engine oils under dynamic stressing by pulses of negative pressure. International Journal of Engine Research, 4(4), 269-282. https://doi.org/10.1243/146808703322743886

This paper reports the first measurements of the effective tensile strength (or ‘cavitation threshold’) Fc, of degassed samples of a commercial multigrade engine oil over a range of temperatures, T, which are representative of those encountered under...
