Adjusting the Membrane Model using the Multi-Particle Method via Vibration Experiments in a Vacuum Chamber

Abstract

In this paper, the behavior of flexible membranes is investigated via numerical simulations using the multi-particle method (MPM) in which the membrane is replaced by a spring, damper and mass. To verify the model, some experiments on membrane vibration using a vacuum chamber are carried out. These results are compared with the results of numerical simulations using the MPM, and then the membrane structural model based on the MPM is refined to accurately simulate the behavior of membranes in experiments.
