Macaulay's method (the double integration method) is a technique used in structural analysis to determine the deflection of Euler-Bernoulli beams. Use of Macaulay's technique is very convenient for cases of discontinuous and/or discrete loading. Typically partial uniformly distributed loads (u.d.l.) and uniformly varying loads (u.v.l.) over the span and a number of concentrated loads are conveniently handled using this technique.
The first English language description of the method was by Macaulay.[1] The actual approach appears to have been developed by Clebsch in 1862.[2] Macaulay's method has been generalized for Euler-Bernoulli beams with axial compression,[3] to Timoshenko beams,[4] to elastic foundations,[5] and to problems in which the bending and shear stiffness changes discontinuously in a beam.[6]
The starting point is the relation from Euler-Bernoulli beam theory
Where w {\displaystyle w} is the deflection and M {\displaystyle M} is the bending moment. This equation[7] is simpler than the fourth-order beam equation and can be integrated twice to find w {\displaystyle w} if the value of M {\displaystyle M} as a function of x {\displaystyle x} is known. For general loadings, M {\displaystyle M} can be expressed in the form
where the quantities P i ⟨ ⟨ --> x − − --> a i ⟩ ⟩ --> {\displaystyle P_{i}\langle x-a_{i}\rangle } represent the bending moments due to point loads and the quantity ⟨ ⟨ --> x − − --> a i ⟩ ⟩ --> {\displaystyle \langle x-a_{i}\rangle } is a Macaulay bracket defined as
Ordinarily, when integrating P ( x − − --> a ) {\displaystyle P(x-a)} we get
However, when integrating expressions containing Macaulay brackets, we have
with the difference between the two expressions being contained in the constant C m {\displaystyle C_{m}} . Using these integration rules makes the calculation of the deflection of Euler-Bernoulli beams simple in situations where there are multiple point loads and point moments. The Macaulay method predates more sophisticated concepts such as Dirac delta functions and step functions but achieves the same outcomes for beam problems.
An illustration of the Macaulay method considers a simply supported beam with a single eccentric concentrated load as shown in the adjacent figure. The first step is to find M {\displaystyle M} . The reactions at the supports A and C are determined from the balance of forces and moments as
Therefore, R A = P b / L {\displaystyle R_{A}=Pb/L} and the bending moment at a point D between A and B ( 0 < x < a {\displaystyle 0<x<a} ) is given by
Using the moment-curvature relation and the Euler-Bernoulli expression for the bending moment, we have
Integrating the above equation we get, for 0 < x < a {\displaystyle 0<x<a} ,
At x = a − − --> {\displaystyle x=a_{-}}
For a point D in the region BC ( a < x < L {\displaystyle a<x<L} ), the bending moment is
In Macaulay's approach we use the Macaulay bracket form of the above expression to represent the fact that a point load has been applied at location B, i.e.,
Therefore, the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation for this region has the form
Integrating the above equation, we get for a < x < L {\displaystyle a<x<L}
At x = a + {\displaystyle x=a_{+}}
Comparing equations (iii) & (vii) and (iv) & (viii) we notice that due to continuity at point B, C 1 = D 1 {\displaystyle C_{1}=D_{1}} and C 2 = D 2 {\displaystyle C_{2}=D_{2}} . The above observation implies that for the two regions considered, though the equation for bending moment and hence for the curvature are different, the constants of integration got during successive integration of the equation for curvature for the two regions are the same.
The above argument holds true for any number/type of discontinuities in the equations for curvature, provided that in each case the equation retains the term for the subsequent region in the form ⟨ ⟨ --> x − − --> a ⟩ ⟩ --> n , ⟨ ⟨ --> x − − --> b ⟩ ⟩ --> n , ⟨ ⟨ --> x − − --> c ⟩ ⟩ --> n {\displaystyle \langle x-a\rangle ^{n},\langle x-b\rangle ^{n},\langle x-c\rangle ^{n}} etc. It should be remembered that for any x, giving the quantities within the brackets, as in the above case, -ve should be neglected, and the calculations should be made considering only the quantities which give +ve sign for the terms within the brackets.
Reverting to the problem, we have
It is obvious that the first term only is to be considered for x < a {\displaystyle x<a} and both the terms for x > a {\displaystyle x>a} and the solution is
Note that the constants are placed immediately after the first term to indicate that they go with the first term when x < a {\displaystyle x<a} and with both the terms when x > a {\displaystyle x>a} . The Macaulay brackets help as a reminder that the quantity on the right is zero when considering points with x < a {\displaystyle x<a} .
As w = 0 {\displaystyle w=0} at x = 0 {\displaystyle x=0} , C 2 = 0 {\displaystyle C2=0} . Also, as w = 0 {\displaystyle w=0} at x = L {\displaystyle x=L} ,
or,
Hence,
For w {\displaystyle w} to be maximum, d w / d x = 0 {\displaystyle dw/dx=0} . Assuming that this happens for x < a {\displaystyle x<a} we have
or
Clearly x < 0 {\displaystyle x<0} cannot be a solution. Therefore, the maximum deflection is given by
At x = a {\displaystyle x=a} , i.e., at point B, the deflection is
It is instructive to examine the ratio of w m a x / w ( L / 2 ) {\displaystyle w_{\mathrm {max} }/w(L/2)} . At x = L / 2 {\displaystyle x=L/2}
Therefore,
where k = B / L {\displaystyle k=B/L} and for a < b ; 0 < k < 0.5 {\displaystyle a<b;0<k<0.5} . Even when the load is as near as 0.05L from the support, the error in estimating the deflection is only 2.6%. Hence in most of the cases the estimation of maximum deflection may be made fairly accurately with reasonable margin of error by working out deflection at the centre.
When a = b = L / 2 {\displaystyle a=b=L/2} , for w {\displaystyle w} to be maximum
and the maximum deflection is

A cascade converter is a type of motor-generator which was patented in 1902 by J. L. la Cour and O. S. Bragstad. It consists of an induction motor driving a dynamo through a shaft. In addition, the rotor of the induction motor is electrically connected to the armature of the dynamo. When the machine is running, half the power is transmitted mechanically through the shaft while the other half is transmitted electrically. The advantage of this arrangement is that the machine can be smaller than a …
