McCauley: http://maths.cnam.fr/IMG/pdf/IJ10_ASCEpapier1.pdf (p842)

MacAuley: http://books.google.com/books?id=umzsErNuyFgC&lpg=PP1&hl=de&pg=PA219#v=onepage&q&f=false

Macaulay: <this page>

http://books.google.de/books?id=AOuqC_d7WTkC&pg=PA442 appears to answer this: Macaulay is the proper spelling. 91.65.133.39 (talk) 21:38, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

In german engineering the notation is also known as "Flöppl-Klammer" (Flöppl bracket[s]). There is also a german Wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.103.100.232 (talk) 02:21, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
