Abstract

The method of associated matrices is used to obtain Galerkin type representations. Fundamental solutions are then obtained for the cases of a point body couple and a point microstretch force. A formula for calculating the total couple acting on a rigid body rotating axi-symmetrically in a microstretch fluid is deduced. A generalized reciprocal theorem is deduced. An application for a rigid sphere rotating in a microstretch fluid is discussed. The results of the application are represented graphically.
