Abstract: Structure calculation and experiment have been performed on tensioned membrane structure radome based on curved surface with negative gauss. Form-finding analysis, geometry nonlinear calculation and experiment were carried out on a physical model. After all of the work, we found the membrane stress error is 8.4% between the calculation and the experiment, and the membrane displacement error is 5.1% between the calculation and the experiment. Error band is reasonable, so we are sure that the method of calculation is accurate.

Key words: curved surface with negative gauss, tensioned membrane structure, radome, form-finding analysis, composites
