Predicting seakeeping of conventional monohull vessels with forward speed using artificial neural networks

This work aims at obtaining Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to assess the seakeeping of ships navigating with forward speed. The targets of these ANNs are the Froude–Krylov and wave diffraction-radiation loads needed to compute the ship’s Response Amplitude Operators (RAOs). This research presents...
