1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 The USCG SFLC has been involved in a number of structural analysis efforts requiring load prediction and application of the loads to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) programs to ultimate strength and fatigue analysis of ship structural details.

1.2 The objective of this effort is to develop detailed FEA models for use in ship structural analysis using the MAESTRO and NASTRAN computer programs.

2. REFERENCE MATERIAL

2.1 The Tasks of this project require information about existing cutter classes, their performance and design. Reference materials to be provided include:

a. Structure drawings.

b. Load case descriptions.

c. Existing FEA models available.

3. SCOPE OF WORK – The work is to be accomplished through the following tasks.

3.1 Task 1 – DEVELOP FEA MODELS. The contractor shall develop detailed FEA models for four structural strength and fatigue hot spot locations. The four example models include: 1) modify an existing MAESTRO FEA model to include a detailed NASTRAN FEA location to be used for fatigue analysis, 2) develop a new NASTRAN FEA model of a Cutter crane support foundation, 3) a new NASTRAN FEA model of a tow bit location and 4) modify an existing MAESTRO FEA model to simulate damage and evaluate. NASTRAN FEA models shall be developed with boundary nodal points that are compatible with the MAESTRO global FEA model of a candidate ship defined by the USCG. The contractor shall apply load cases described by the USCG to the detailed models and return the local stress analysis. The contractor shall determine the stress concentration factor above nominal stress at the detail NASTRAN FEA model boundary. The NASTRAN FEA models shall be in sufficient detail for use in hot spot fatigue spectral analysis. The contractor shall use the CRS STRUC/MAESTRO interface and provide an updated version of the National Security Cutter with loading transfer for the cases analyzed when midship bending is a consideration. The contractor shall meet with the USCG SFLC in Baltimore to obtain GFI and discuss the FEA prior to beginning each analysis.

3.2 Task 2 – PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION. The contractor shall provide a copy of the FEA models and analysis systems used to develop and analyze in the models along with a report describing their development and results for each analysis in Task 1 separately.

4. DELIVERABLES AND SCHEDULE

4.1 DELIVERABLES – The contractor shall include in the letter report deliverables to SFLC all photographs, illustrations, charts, graphs, tables, calculations, text, analyses, algorithms, conclusions and recommendations developed as a part of this project.

4.2 MODIFICATIONS - Modifications to contractor submittals required by the government reviewers, if judged by the contractor to be outside the scope of this Statement of Work, shall be discussed at a meeting of the government technical and contracting personnel with contractor representatives.

4.3 SCHEDULE – The following schedule of events shall be followed by the contractor in carrying out the provisions of this Statement of Work. When either party becomes aware of their inability to conform to this schedule, they shall so advise the other party, in writing, propose an alternate schedule, and provide justification.

Item

No.

Description Quantity Deliverable Due

Task 1 - Letter Reports and FEA models, 2 copies and CD, 4 weeks after Evaluations.

Task 2 - Final FEA models, 1 copy Documentation and CDs, 52 weeks after Contract Award.

5. QUALITY ASSURANCE

5.1 The government reserves the right to witness the validation procedures and validation processes of any part of the project development at whatever site such action is taking place.

5.2 The government will review the contents and format of the deliverables in their entirety prior to issuing approval.

6. SECURITY CLEARANCE

6.1 This work is not classified. No security clearance is required.

7. USE OF GOVERNMENT FURNISHED MATERIAL

7.1 Government furnished material shall be used for the delivery order only and shall not be used or disseminated for any other purpose.
