Used the program, ANSYS, finite element model of the rung-shape long-span tensile cable-membrane structure in Foshan Century Lotus Stadium was conducted to investigate its dynamic characteristics and its mechanics performance under seismic loading. Results indicate that the natural frequencies of the structure are all lower and concentrate in a small range, and its jumping phenomenon isn't in evidence. The structure's vibration is mainly vertical vibration, and its lateral stiffness and torsional rigidity is well. To ensure that the modal mass participating coefficient is not less than 90%, the contribution of the former 140 modes are should to consider when the analysis of response spectrum is done. Because the earthquake action can greatly influence the internal force of the upper compression ring, the lower compression ring, and the truss web, it should be calculated in the load combination. When the earthquake waves load on the structure from different directions, the internal force and displacement of the structure have significant difference. So the effects of the different direction of the waves and their combination should be considered together.
Lightweight cable–membrane structures can span large distances and undertake aesthetically pleasing shapes. They are widely used for roofs and modern structural canopies and in the aerospace industry for large on-board antenna reflectors that are to be deployed in space. This paper studies a wind-induced vibration under different cable stress relaxation conditions based on the wind load time-history to obtain the dynamic behavior of such a structure. Particularly, the focus is put upon its wind resistance in the event of stress relaxation. This research can provide an important reference for the design of wind resistance, damage assessment, and emergency maintenance for the spoke-wise cable–membrane structure (SCMS).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
