By distributing the concentrated singularities such as a Kelvin doublet along the axis of symmetry we describe the displacement field, in an elastic medium, for various modes of rotation and translation for a rigid prolate and oblate spheroid. The limiting cases of a sphere, a slender body and a thin circular disk are also discussed. All the solutions are presented in a closed form.
