More Singularity Functions Concentrated Forces Represent a concentrated force with a singularity function that acts like a distributed force. The singularity function that represents a unit, concentrated upward force located at X a . X a 1 This is an improper function. Anti-differentiation of this function does not follow the normal rules of calculus. Xa 1 dX X a 0 C (9.1) In other words, this singularity function is an improper function such that its antiderivative is a Macaulay function of order 0. In the analysis of beams, th constant of integration will be equal to zero.
