Description
In December of 1982 the MHD magnet (designed to achieve 6 T over an active bore approximately 1 m square x 7 long) for the High Performance Demonstration Experiment HPDE suffered a catastrophic structural failure, which induced massive brittle fracture. The authors have completed an autopsy and analysis, and have determined the cause of failure
