Abstract
A pressure bulkhead for a vehicle disclosed. The pressure bulkhead is configured to separate a pressurized interior from an unpressurized interior of the vehicle. The pressure bulkhead includes a bulkhead wall having a radially inner disk and a radially outer compression ring. The radially inner disk has a surface and a first thickness and the radially outer compression ring having a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness. The radially outer compression ring defines a periphery of the bulkhead wall and the second thickness of the radially outer compression ring is effective to provide a strength to oppose meridional and hoop stresses across the surface of the radially inner disk in response to a pressure differential across the bulkhead wall. The pressure bulkhead also includes an attachment ring that is affixed to the periphery of the bulkhead wall.
