Abstract
The paper examines the influence of joint geometry on the ability to transfer out-of-plane loads for a hull bulkhead joint in small boats. The hull bulkhead assemblies have been designed on the basis of sandwich beam and laminated plate theories. An analytical solution has also been developed to predict the failure load. Experimental speci mens have been produced and tested to failure in order to be compared with the analytical method. Finally, a design tool based on the analytical model and the factors affecting cost and weight efficiency of the joint has been produced for practical engineering purposes.
