229: Bulkhead Interface

Steady state heat transfer and linear static stress analysis of a bulkhead interface design, using non linear surface contact. A Pie cut symmetry model was used for the analysis. The heat transfer analysis provided the temperature inputs for the static stress analysis. It was noted from the analysis that some of the stress peaks in the model were close to the yield strength of the materials used, and so might require consideration moving forward.
