- If a pulling apparatus cannot reach high enough strain rates, the product viscosity times strain rate stays below the fracture threshold, so lower-viscosity liquids may never exhibit fracture under that experimental limit.

- Without elasticity to absorb and slow energy release, a crack can accelerate until inertia and cohesion are the only limits, which lets fractures reach the maximum speed allowed by physics.
