Fig. 5. The oscillograms of the radial pressure pulse (1) and the current flowing through the exploding conductor (2) for the low-voltage loading scheme of a PMMA sample.

Fig. 6. The oscillograms of the radial pressure pulse (1) and the current flowing through the exploding conductor (2) for a high-voltage loading scheme of a fluoroplast sample.

Fig. 7. The oscillograms of the radial pressure pulse (1) and the current flowing through the exploding conductor (2) for a high-voltage loading scheme of a PMMA sample.

• The duration of the radial pressure pulse for the low-voltage loading scheme (Fig. 4 and Fig. 5) is substantially greater than for the high-voltage loading scheme (Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 respectively).The slope of the fronts of these pulses will be very di ff erent accordingly.
