“…Specifically, it will be useful to employ a nesting form-finding procedure, typical for cable structures (as in [44,45]) in isogeometric formulation with singularities, as developed in [46,47], reducing the formulation to a standard shape optimization problem on the lengths of two portion of the cable. As the problem is of dynamical nature, the tools developed in [14,15] may also be of help. Finally, the generalization to multiple masses may entail the onset of instabilities, for the investigation of which the numerical techniques employed in [33,50,51,52,18] can be useful.…”
