The present study addresses vibration mitigation of membrane structures the boundaries of which are surrounded by weblike perimeter cables. This proposed membrane design realizes significant structural mass reduction when compared to the conventional catenary design. A key dynamic characteristic of the proposed structure is that support perturbations propagated into the outer perimeter cables have a minor effect on the vibration frequencies of the membrane. This property has been exploited in the development of vibration mitigation strategies using active control. This is corroborated by carrying out nonlinear transient analysis, which accounts for the effect of wrinkles in the membrane. The results confirm that disturbances emanating from the support structures can be isolated by the outer perimeter cables while maintaining the interior membrane in a wrinkle-free taut condition. A simple active control law has been developed and applied to only the outer perimeter cables. Numerical simulations show that the combination of the web-cable girded membranes and the proposed vibration mitigation strategy can provide sufficient damping for both in-plane and out-of-plane vibrations.
