Abstract

We present a model for the ignition of HMX that uses the Gibbs formulation, in which the stress tensor and temperature are assumed to be in local equilibrium, but phase and chemical changes are not. We assume multi-components for HMX, that includes beta and delta solid phases, a liquid phase, and reactant and gas products. An isotropic, thermoelastic, small-strain model is used for the solids, a modified Fried-Howard equation of state (EOS) is used for the liquid, and the ideal gas EOS is used for the gas components. Phase and chemical changes are characterized as reactions that require the specification of the rates of change. We describe an ignition event that heats one end of the HMX slab. The subsequent sequence of events includes phase change, melting and the generation of gas reactants that burn to gas products. The one-dimensional profiles and histories of the density, stress, strain, displacement, mass fractions, and temperature of the mixture are computed.
