| '''Macaulay brackets''' are a notation used to describe the [[ramp function]]
| |
| | |
| <math>\{x\} = \begin{cases} 0, & x < 0 \\ x, & x \ge 0. \end{cases}</math>

| A popular alternative transcription uses angle brackets, ''viz.'' <math>\langle x \rangle</math>.<ref>[http://www.colorado.edu/engineering/CAS/courses.d/Structures.d/IAST.Lect12.d/IAST.Lect12.pdf]</ref>
| |
| Another commonly used notation is <math>x</math><sub>+</sub> or <math>(x)</math><sub>+</sub> for the [[positive number|positive]] part of <math>x</math>, which avoids conflicts with <math>\{...\}</math> for [[set notation]].

| Macaulay's notation is commonly used in the static analysis of bending moments of a beam. This is useful because shear forces applied on a member render the [[shear and moment diagram]] discontinuous. Macaulay's notation also provides an easy way of integrating these discontinuous curves to give bending moments, angular deflection, and so on. For engineering purposes, angle brackets are often used to denote the use of [[Macaulay's method]].

| | |
| <math>\{x-a\}^n = \begin{cases} 0, & x < a \\ (x-a)^n, & x \ge a. \end{cases}</math> <math> (n \ge 0)\,\!</math> | |
| | |
| The above example simply states that the function takes the value {{math|(<var>x-a</var>)<sup>n</sup>}} for all x values larger that a. With this, all the forces acting on a beam can be added, with their respective points of action being the value of a.

Hi there. Let me online psychic reading start by introducing the author, her title is Sophia Boon but she never really liked that name. For a while I've been in Mississippi but now I'm considering other options. Office supervising is my occupation. My spouse authentic psychic readings doesn't like it the way I do but what I truly like doing is caving but I don't have the time lately.
