World Wide Web of Geotechnical Engineers - Hall of Fame William John Maquorn Rankine Used with permission from the Institution of Civil Engineers, London The Man One can only wonder if the brilliance of William John Maquorn Rankine was hereditary or if he was merely a prodigy of his time. In a lecture delivered before the British Geotechnical Society at the University of Glasgow on December 13, 1972, Hugh B. Sutherland, Cormack Professor of Civil Engineering from the University of Glasgow said of him: ‘Rankine was no ordinary man.’ He humbly described his task of telling of Rankine’s life and times by saying: ‘It has left me with the feeling that anything I can say is a tribute to a giant of the past from a tiny mortal of the present." On ending his lecture, he stated: ‘Rankine was the most wonderful combination of the man of genius and of humor. How much more pleasant and effective is the contribution, scientific or otherwise, when you know behind it lies a man capable of having a twinkle in his eye.’ Civil Engineer Very little is known today of Rankine’s work as a practicing civil engineer. However, it is apparent he was introduced during his second year of college to the profession by his father, David Rankine. The elder Mr. Rankine, a civil engineer, was a superintendent for the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway. Young Rankine spent a year assisting his father and then he left for Ireland, where he worked on railroad, hydraulic, and various other projects. After four years in Ireland, he returned to Scotland and worked with railway companies and consultants until about 1848.

RPO Edited by Ian Lancashire A UTEL (University of Toronto English Library) Edition Published by the Web Development Group, Information Technology Services, University of Toronto Libraries Index to poems The Mathematician in Love Notes on Life and Works Inventor, civil engineer, and molecular physicist, William John Macquorn Rankine was born July 5, 1820, in Edinburgh. After he was educated at the University of Edinburgh, he became surveyor on waterworks and railways in Dublin and Drogheda in Ireland and later for the Caledonian Railway. During this time he made valuable contributions to the understanding of axle fatigue. From 1848, Rankine dedicated himself to study of thermodynamics and published over 150 scientific papers, especially on the conversion of work into heat, and vice versa. The model of events in this conversion is called the Rankine cycle. Created a fellow, Royal Society of Edinburgh, in 1849 and a fellow, Royal Society, in 1853, he was given the Queen Victoria chair of civil engineering and mechanics at Glasgow University in 1855. He wrote many standard textbooks for the period. He died on December 24, 1872, in Glasgow. B., G. C. [biography]

Macquorn Rankine (1820-1872) The Mathematician in Love I A mathematician fell madly in love With a lady, young, handsome, and charming: By angles and ratios harmonic he strove Her curves and proportions all faultless to prove. As he scrawled hieroglyphics alarming. II He measured with care, from the ends of a base, The arcs which her features subtended: Then he framed transcendental equations, to trace The flowing outlines of her figure and face, And thought the result very splendid. III He studied (since music has charms for the fair) The theory of fiddles and whistles, Then composed, by acoustic equations, an air, Which, when 'twas performed, made the lady's long hair Stand on end, like a porcupine's bristles. IV The lady loved dancing: he therefore applied, To the polka and waltz, an equation; But when to rotate on his axis he tried, His centre of gravity swayed to one side, And he fell, by the earth's gravitation. V No doubts of the fate of his suit made him pause

The Late Professor Rankine. Transactions of the Institution of Naval Architects some paper of importance to the shipbuilder or marine engineer, but these form only a small portion of his contributions to scientific knowledge. It would be impossible, however, within the limits of this notice to refer even briefly to the whole of the subjects upon which Professor Rankine brought his powers of mathematical reasoning to bear so successfully. He perhaps acquired most fame by his contributions to the theory of thermo-dynamics, and by his reducing this to rules, easy of comprehension and adapted to the practice of engineers. His Manual of the Steam Engine is, indeed, the only book in the language in which this subject is treated exhaustively and at the same time in such a manner as to be practically useful. In addition to this work and the numerous papers from his pen to be found in the Transactions of the different learned societies, and in the columns of the Engineer , Professor Rankine was the author of exhaustive treatises on Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics, besides being the principal contributor to Shipbuilding Theoretical and Practical , a well-known book published under his editorship.
