Ship Performance Research Based on BP Neural Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

The problem is solved that it is hard to provide analysis formulas about the maximum equivalent stress, the maximum shear stress and the structural geometric parameters for a ship. The finite element calculation is done with orthogonal experimental design under the most dangerous case. The data obtained are used as the training and test samples to establish BP neural network models of ship’s maximum equivalent stress and maximum shear stress. With the aid of Neural network toolbox in MATLAB, the topological structure of BP neural network mapping relationship between the whole ship performance indexes and design variables is established. The training and testing are completed with the data tested by the shipyard and the correctness of this network is verified. The neural network required for further optimization design is obtained. The neural network is helpful in reducing the ship mass without exceeding the allowable stress.
