Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL), Tallahassee, FL, USA, has developed, built, tested, and commissioned a 32 T all-superconducting user magnet system combining two series-connected high-field high-temperature superconductor (HTS) nested inner coils (insert) wound with SuperPower, Inc. REBCO tapes and a low temperature superconducting (LTS) outer magnet (outsert) composed of five coils (subdivided into 17 electrical sections). Protected-quench tests were performed at the NHMFL to analyze the reliability of the 32 T magnet during the superconducting-to-normal transition. The quench tests were performed at different values of transport current both in the HTS insert and in the LTS outsert. The University of Bologna, in collaboration with the NHMFL, has developed a quasi-3-D FE model suited for the analysis of quench in HTS magnets. The model was previously applied to the analysis of the experimental results of the quench tests carried out on the prototype coils, manufactured in the framework of the 32 T magnet R&D activities. In this paper, the numerical model is applied to analyze the quench initiation and propagation in the 32 T HTS insert. The dump of the transport current during quench is computed and compared with the experimental result. The most stressed regions within the insert windings are identified.
