Abstract: A suture function defining a one-to-one mapping between the opposite sides of equal or unequal lengths of a hole is introduced. This function specifies the precise manner in which the opposite sides of the hole are sutured. The problem is first formulated in the general context of finite plane-stress theory, and then specialized for large stretching. The suturing of an elliptic hole is worked out as an example.
