This article describes experiments on the flow and rupture of rocks under compression, tension, and torsion, while at the same time subjected to a high confining pressure supplied through a liquid surrounding the specimen. The hydrostatic pressure of this liquid could be measured very accurately and could be maintained constant. In addition, a “differential” stress was applied to the specimen, and the deformation was measured directly. By using the high pressure technique of P. W. Bridgman the confining pressure was carried up to 13,000 atmospheres, equivalent to a depth in the earth’s crust of 28 miles, and four times that available to F. W. Adams in his pioneering experiments (1901–1917).
