Popis: The autoignition of HMX under various conditions of initial pressure yields a family of curves similar to those encountered in rate of burning studies of propellents. From this a hypothesis that the two phenomena are coupled is developed. A description of current theories of thermal decomposition of explosives, autoignition techniques, and the polymorphs of HMX is presented. A new machine for sealing standard Pyrex melting point tubes under various conditions of initial pressure is described.
