  ABSTRACT: Because of the small stiffness and high flexibility, the tension membrane structure is easy to relax and damage or even destroy under the action of external load, which leads to the occurrence of engineering accidents. In this paper, the damped nonlinear vibration of tensioned membrane structure under the coupling action of wind and rain is approximately solved, considering the geometric nonlinearity of membrane surface deformation and the influence of air damping. Applying von Karman’s large deflection theory and D’Alembert’s principle, the governing equations are established for an analytical solution, and the experimental results are compared with the analytical results. The feasibility of this method is verified, which provides some theoretical reference for practical membrane structure engineering design and maintenance.
