Abstract: In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for semilinear classical wave equations �egin{equation*} u_{tt}-Delta u=|u|^{p_S(n)}mu(|u|) end{equation*} with the Strauss exponent $p_S(n)$ and a modulus of continuity $mu=mu(au)$, which provides an additional regularity of nonlinearities in $u=0$ comparing with the power nonlinearity $|u{|}^{p_S(n)}$. We obtain a sharp condition on $mu$ as a threshold between global (in time) existence of small data radial solutions by deriving polynomial-logarithmic type weighted $L_t^{infty}{L}_r^{infty}$ estimates, and blow-up of solutions in finite time even for small data by applying iteration methods with slicing procedure. These results imply the critical regularity of source nonlinearities for semilinear classical wave equations.
