12. Experimentally, the in-plane CTEs for TATB are ∼8× 10-6 K and 20× 10-6 K along the a and b axes of the basal plane, and ∼250× 10-6 K normal to the basal plane, see J. R. Kolb and H. F. Rizzo, Propellants, Explos., Pyrotech.. 4, 10 (1979). In keeping with these experimental CTE values, we use C AA Th = C BB Th =14× 10-6 K and C AB Th =250× 10-6 K in our simulations.
