Pressure Bulkhead Failure Analsis

[hsinid]

Dear Engineers,

I would like to know how would i analyze a circular flat pressure bulkhead under an evenly distributed load and can i know what kind of failure might occur due to this load.

there are plenty of design books (bruhn, niu, ...) that can help.

flat bulkheads are tricky to design as you're dealing with thin sheet, with stiffeners, with out-of-plane loads (ie membrane action).
