Closing up a hole in neo-Hookean membrane. (English) Zbl 0780.73035

Summary: The hole in a nonlinearly elastic membrane of infinite extent is sutured. The membrane is then loaded with sufficient stretching. A model of complex variable for the general suturing process is developed in the context of finite plane stress theory. Neo-Hookean material is assumed in this membrane. The undeformed shape of the hole may be simulated by a family of conformal mappings. The one-to-one correspondence between complex conjugates on a unit circle mapped from the hole is employed for the suturing process. A second approximation closed form solution is obtained from successive substitutions. Graphical results are demonstrated.
