“…Prestressed membrane structures are widely used by architects due to their beautiful shape, small ratio of weight over strength and other advantages [1][2][3]. Being different to traditional structures, their stiffness is mainly provided by tension force and geometry curvature, which leads to prestressed membrane structures being very sensitive to dynamic loads, such as wind, rain, hail and other loads [4][5][6][7]. Prestressed membranes are sensitive to shock loads.…”

The damping ratio plays a main role in the vibration of membrane structures. In order to study the damping force of air application to membrane structures, this present paper investigated the vibration response of a membrane structure subjected to impact loads. Eight experiments with the application of different tension forces to a tension membrane structure were conducted, and the impact load was simulated using a rigid bullet with a certain velocity. The displacement data were obtained using a laser displacement meter. FEM was used to simulate the vibration, and the results had good agreement. The results show that the effect of air applied to a prestressed membrane was equivalent to viscous damping, and the damping force was determined using the air. The damping ratio was proportional to the density of the air over the density of the membrane. The parameter of the coefficient could be determined using the geometry of the structure.
