The main challenge in numerical form-finding ist the singular stiffness matrix due to the possible in-plane movements of the nodes, corresponding to the floating in a soap bubble. Any form-finding method is based on finding a stabilization for that problem.
Dieringer [1] introduced the eXtended URS (xURS) as an extension to the Updated Reference Strategy with the following reasoning:
- The instability is only due to the possible motions in the curved plane, hence in-plane stabilization is required. In URS this is introduced to the stabilization term by the formulation in the reference configuration.
- Out-of-plane equilibrium would best be described by the original problem in the current configuration.
- Therefore a split of the problem along the current surface normal n is performed: out-of-plane the force and stiffness in the current configuration are taken, in-plane the stabilized terms are used.
See [1] for a complete description of the method and application examples.
