These substructures will tend to be larger and heavier the more gear is needed, which may have negative impacts on the dynamic performance of the roof structures. In this paper, to explore the dynamic response of a large-span roof structure with a suspended substructure, a real structure model is simplified into a two-degrees-of-freedom system. The essential consideration of nonlinear vibration is elaborated in the equations of motions. Approximate analytical solutions for free and forced vibrations are derived using perturbation methods, while numerical analysis is carried out to validate the solutions. The ratio of linear to nonlinear amplitude is proposed to represent the nonlinear effect of the primary structure, and the nonlinear effect, varying with structural parameters of frequency ratio, mass ratio, excitation ratio, and external force to the primary structure, is investigated. It is shown that internal resonance occurs when the structural frequency ratio is close to 1:2 and that secondary resonance takes place due to certain external excitations; internal resonance and secondary resonance will magnify the amplitude of the primary structure during vibration. Finally, a case of a designed practical dome with a suspended substructure is studied to verify the outcomes from the above research. According to these findings, some design proposals for this type of structure are provided.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym13122397","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,13]],"date-time":"2021-12-13T01:29:33Z","timestamp":1639358973000},"page":"2397","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Study on Nonlinear Dynamic Response of the Large-Span Roof Structure with Suspended Substructure"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Rui","family":"Pan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of C & PC Structures of Ministry of Education, National Prestress Engineering Research Center, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189, China"}]},{"given":"Baofeng","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of C & PC Structures of Ministry of Education, National Prestress Engineering Research Center, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189, China"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of C & PC Structures of Ministry of Education, National Prestress Engineering Research Center, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1082","DOI":"10.1061\/(ASCE)0733-9399(1995)121:10(1082)","article-title":"Vibration Control of Tall Buildings Using Mega SubConfiguration","volume":"121","author":"Feng","year":"1995","journal-title":"J.
