RESPONSE OF RECTANGULAR RESONATORS TO OCEAN WAVE SPECTRA

The paper describes a method to tune a resonator accurately to eliminate those bandwidths in the incident wave spectra that cause range action and high mooring forces, unreasonable wave forces and wave overtopping, and the drift of littoral sediments into the harbor. Using maximum attainable values of reflectivity, minimum values of transmissivity and approximate sharpness of the resonance, an approximate method is devised for estimating the performance of resonators, assuming a linear system.
