Abstract
Solutions to the Einstein equations that represent the superposition o f static isolated bodies with axial symmetry are presented. The equati ons' nonlinearity yields singular structures (strut and membranes) to equilibrate the bodies. The force on the strut-like singularities is c omputed for a variety of situations. The superposition of a ring and a particle is studied in some detail.
