Effect of hull-to-bulkhead flexible connection on blast resistance of double hulled ships
The use of double hull construction is commonplace within the shipping industry though it is largely unexploited within naval vessels. The Impact and Crashworthiness Lab at MIT has proposed the use of adaptive sandwich structures to improve the blast resistance of naval hulls. This project will …

Short-term effects of bulkheads on the bayshore of Fire Island, New York
Construction of bulkheads as a method of shore protection is common on the bay shoreline of Fire Island, New York but there are few studies that assess the effects of these structures on beach change in estuarine and lagoon environments. A short-term field study was conducted at Cherry Grove on …

Flow field investigation in pulse 1 motor of a two-pulse solid rocket motor
… and angle of the throughflow holes on the bulkhead--which separates the two motor chambers--and the downstream flow pattern in the pulse I chamber were assessed by changing the bulkhead model configuration for each test. Video records of the flow pattern were obtained through flow …

Tools for the formation of optimised X-80 steel blast tolerant transverse bulkheads
… of X-80 steel blast tolerant transverse bulkheads. Unfortunately, due to the Australian Maritime Engineering Cooperative Research Centre not being re-funded after June 2000 and other project factors, the planned blast tests were not conducted, hence this research effort focussed on the …

Design of clamping mechanism for securing sections of unmanned submarine
… together and apply force on the gaskets and bulkhead that divides them. Within this paper, the design requirements and details are discussed, including strength, tolerance, sealing, pressure endurance, and material requirements. This project was developed as part of the MIT class 2.014: …

Applications of modular construction techniques for habitability spaces in naval ship design and production
… (ATC) program is developing new joiner bulkhead systems and modular sanitary spaces to meet Navy performance requirements. However, very little is known about the cost benefits and area and weight penalties for using habitability modules in aircraft carriers. An arrangement design …

Simplified Ship Collision Model
… determines reacting forces from side and bulkhead structures using mechanisms adapted from Rosenblatt and McDermott, and absorbed energy by decks, bottoms and stringers calculated using the Minorsky correlation as modified by Reardon and Sprung. SIMCOL is applied to a series of collision …

Predicting adverse geology and tunnel responses utilizing tunnel-ground interaction data with machine learning techniques
… importance analyses revealed that the average bulkhead soil pressure is an important indicator of mixed soil face condition and grain size distribution, whereas, for clogging potential, it is the average foam flow rate. The third study utilized tunnel in-situ monitoring data from the Shanghai, …

Design of Automotive Joints Using Response Surface Polynomials and Neural Networks
… manufacturing and styling constraints. Putting bulkheads in the joint structure is an efficient way to increase stiffness. This thesis investigates the effect of transverse bulkheads on the stiffness of an actual B-pillar to rocker joint. It also develops a translator A for the B-pillar to …
