More Singularity Functions Concentrated Moments Represent a concentrated moment with a singularity function that acts like a distributed force. The singularity function that represents a unit, concentrated clockwise moment located at X a . X a 2 This is an improper function. Anti-differentiation of this function does not follow the normal rules of calculus.
