[edit] Rankine

According to Arthur Morley "Strength of Materials", Eleventh Edition, (1954) [p. 20], on the grpahical representations of stresses:

The main points [...] may 
conveniently be summarised in a simple geometrical construction used by 
Rankine but sometimes known as the "Mohr" circle or "stress circle."

Wikipedia has Rankine living until 1872, before Mohr made his proposal (circa 1882). — DIV (128.250.204.118 06:39, 14 May 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Review comments

Some suggestions for improvement as the article is expanded:

• Template:Infobox Scientist should be added
• Information on family should be added if available
• Article needs expanding and should emphasise reasons for notability of subject
• After expansion, article should be divided into appropriate subheadings
• Information on research should be expanded
• References should be expanded and preferably converted to inline format
• External links to useful online resources should be added if available
