“…Wei et al [4] used the finite element method to analyze nonlinear wind-induced vibration response of cable-membrane structures, including the influences of the wind direction, velocity, and membrane prestress. Yang et al [5] studied the effects of both static and dynamic interaction on structural characteristics. Moreover, they analyzed the relationship between the interaction parameters and the covered area of a membrane structure for the static interaction, as well as the relationship between the interaction parameters and wind direction and speed for the dynamic interaction.…”

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).

“…Aeroelastic measurements are focused on the wind-structure dynamically interaction. In particular, for roofs, these measurements are focused on the aerodynamic damping and added masses estimation [17,18]. For bridge, aeroelastic tests are focused on the flutter derivatives estimation [19][20][21].…”

Tensile structural systems as for example cables nets, suspended bridges or membranes usually have nonneglecting p-delta effects under wind action. Consequently, great displacements give a geometrically nonlinear structural behavior. In addition, the wind action is nonlinear spatially and time depending. This closely affect the dynamic interaction between loads and structure. For this reason, the calculation process needs to take into account the timedepending nonlinear response of the structure. Finally, the wind action can be critical for structural and it can induce global or local instability. Analyses has to be able to capture and to describe the instability response in term of displacements, in the case of cables net, or rotations, in the case of suspended bridges. The paper is focused on the wind-structure interaction analyses carried out by wind tunnel experiments. The wind action is generally given by wind tunnel experiments, and it is time depending. For roofs, it generally is given as pressure time histories measured by some pressure taps on the roof. The process from experiments to structural response is described using a case of study of cables net. The dynamic geometrically nonlinear analyses were performed using the TENSO non-commercial program, which can execute dynamic step-by-step integration of the nonlinear three-dimensional structure with geometric nonlinearities by the Newmark-Beta method with Rayleigh damping.

This paper investigates the dynamic response problem of an orthotropic rectangular membrane structure excited by the heavy rainfall. Firstly, a determined model is proposed to express the load of heavy rainfall imposed on the membrane structure. Then, the geometrically nonlinear governing motion equations of the membrane structure are established based on the von Kármán’s theory, and solved by the perturbation method. Consequently, the approximated analytical solution of displacement can be obtained. Secondly, the experimental study of this dynamic response problem is carried out. The theoretical model is validated by the experimental data based on the developed artificial simulated rainfall impact system. Moreover, the effects of adding weight from the accumulated rain on structural characteristics are analyzed. Additionally, the parameter discussions varying with rainfall intensity, material properties, pre-tension, structural size, and inclined angle are made in detail. This work provides a reliable theoretical model and experimental system to study the dynamic response problem of membrane structures excited by heavy rainfall and the guidance for the dynamic design, construction and maintenance of membrane structures in practical engineering as well.
