Prediction of Parametric Roll Resonance by Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network.

The article discusses a study which proposed a prediction system based on a multilayer perceptron (MP) neural network. It cites the use of simulated data of a three degrees-of-freedom nonlinear model of a fishing vessel in the training and testing of the MP network. It notes that the amplitude of the heeling arm variations determines the ship's susceptibility to develop parametric roll. Particular focus is given to the parametric roll's sudden onset.
