Methods used for making acoustic velocity measurements on samples which are destroyed in time scales of milliseconds or less are described. Analytic techniques for using this data to calculate thermodynamic quantities are outlined. New results indicating a linear relationship of acoustic velocity with density over a very large density range are presented. 30 refs., 5 figs. (DWL)
