ENHANCEMENT AND CANCELLATION FREQUENCIES:

Based on the Platform Geometry, the Enhancement and Cancellation frequencies are
tabulated below. Sample calculation of both frequencies given as follows.

Enhancement Wave Frequency Cancellation Wave Frequency


0.2604 EN (1) 0.184 CN (1)
0.3683 EN (2) 0.319 CN (2)
0.4511 EN (3) 0.412 CN (3)
0.2238 EN (4) 0.158 CN (4)
0.3165 EN (5) 0.274 CN (5)
0.3876 EN (6) 0.354 CN (6)
0.2726 EN (7) 0.193 CN (7)
0.3854 EN (8) 0.334 CN (8)
0.4721 EN (9) 0.431 CN (9)

Natural Frequency of the Platform for first three modes shall be 0.685, 0.694, and 0.792 Hz.
Also, COD wave period is 4.543 sec ﴾0.220Hz﴿. Hence the Frequency of Platform & COD wave
frequency does not coincide with the frequencies which leads to cancellation wave frequency.

CALCULATION OF PERIOD BASED ON LEG SPACING:

Calculation for Enhancement wave period EN (1)

Enhancement wave period for 0 Degree Direction = √23 / (1.56 x 1.0)

= 3.84 Sec (0.26 Hz)

Enhancement wave period for 90 Degree Direction = √21 / (1.56 x 1.0)

= 3.67 Sec (0.27 Hz)

Enhancement wave period for Diagonal Direction = √31.14 / (1.56 x 1.0)

= 4.47 Sec (0.22 Hz)

Calculation for Enhancement wave period CN (1)

Cancellation wave period for 0 Degree Direction = √23 / (1.56 x (1.0 − 0.5)

= 5.43 Sec (0.18 Hz)

Cancellation wave period for 90 Degree Direction = √21 / (1.56 x 1.0 − 0.5)

= 5.19 Sec (0.19 Hz)

Cancellation wave period for Diagonal Direction = √31.14 / (1.56 x 1.0 − 0.5)

= 6.32 Sec (0.16 Hz)

Where,

Platform Diagonal Distance 31.14m = √232 x 212

Similarly approach followed to calculate the other Frequencies.
