In this paper, a new method of finite element model updating using neural networks is presented. Many previous model updating techniques have exhibited inconsistent performance when subjected to noisy experimental data. From this background it is clear that a successful model updating method must be

โฆ Synopsis
This paper presents a Recursive Neural Network (RNN) manoeuvring simulation model for surface ships. Inputs to the simulation are the orders of rudder angle and ship's speed and also the recursive outputs velocities of sway and yaw. This model is used to test the capabilities of artificial neural networks in manoeuvring simulation of ships. Two manoeuvres are simulated: tactical circles and zigzags. The results between both simulations are compared in order to analyse the accuracy of the RNN. The simulations are performed for the Mariner hull. The data generated to train the network are obtained from a manoeuvrability model performing the simulation of different manoeuvring tests. The RNN proved to be a robust and accurate tool for manoeuvring simulation.

The continuous increase in the computational power of modern computers allows us to consider the feasibility of extending the present PSA studies, based on the usual probabilistic approach, to those aspects connected with the plant's dynamics. Indeed, in many cases the evolution of the process varia
