Approximation of pitching motion of S-175 containership in irregular waves on the basis of ships service parameters

This paper presents approximations of pitching motion of S-175 containership in irregular waves within the full range of ship’s serviceparameters. It continues the research described in [1] dealing with application of artificial neural network stop redict ship’s motions.Referencepitch values were calculated by means of SEAWAY software based on accurate numerical methods. Approximating function was elaborated by using the artificial neural networks
