To ease the determination of the main particulars of a ship at the initial design stage it is
convenient to have tools which, given the type of ship and a few other parameters, output …

This article presents preliminary design formulas developed using a database of container
ships built since 2015. Artificial neural networks and multiple nonlinear regressions with …

In the initial ship design stage, performance predictions are generally carried out before and
after the hull form design. The former is based on the main dimensions and power …

Determining the key characteristics of a ship during the concept and preliminary design
phases is a critical and intricate process. In this study, we propose an alternative to …

This paper proposes an artificial neural network system for regressive estimation of wave
making resistance, which is significantly important in preliminary design of high-speed ship …

Traditional calculation methods used in naval architecture and marine engineering rely
mainly on statistical approaches and regression analysis. A relatively new tool in this field is …

Ship design and construction are complicated and expensive processes. In the pre-design
stage, before the construction according to some special rules, determination of the main …

Neural nets have recently become the focus of much attention, largely because of their wide
range of applicability and the ease with which they can handle complicated problems …

The value of the main ship particulars are key values to determine during initial design of a
vessel, but they can be complex to determine, as they depend on a large number of factors …

Abstract The Holtrop & Mennen method is widely used at the initial design stage of ships for
estimating the resistance of the ship (Holtrop and Mennen, 1982). The Holtrop & Mennen …
