This forth report covers the period February 1 to March 31, 1992. During this period we: (1) performed numerical simulations of plasma brush formation and evolution with a 1D MHD code, (2) commenced testing hybrid armature brushes with a test fixture for studying hybrid armature brush behavior, (3) acquired 7m of the LTS railgun containment structure for a 3 year loan, (4) began evaluation of 3D Electro-Magnetic codes and their suitability to be interfaced to existing 3D stress/strain and thermal codes and (5) conducted a program review at LLNL.
