«ett 3) ‘The unit step function is denoted by (x —a)° where the use of the
“*) angle brackets () is defined as follows: If x < a, (x —a)° = 0; ifx >a,
x)-1 (v—a)°=1. At x=a the unit step function is undefined just as
x)-p. Vertical shear is undefined directly beneath a concentrated load. The
use of the angle brackets () is extended to other cases involving powers
of the unit step function and the ordinary function (x — a)". Thus the
quantity (x —a)"(x— a)” is shortened to (x —a)" and again is given a
else value of zero if x a.
