James Thomson (engineer)
James Thomson (16 February 1822 – 8 May 1892) was an engineer and physicist whose reputation is substantial though it is overshadowed by that of his younger brother William Thomson (Lord Kelvin).
==Biography==
Born in Belfast, much of his youth was spent in Glasgow. His father James was professor of mathematics at the University of Glasgow from 1832 onward and his younger brother was to become William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. James attended Glasgow University from a young age and graduated (1839) with high honors in his late teens. After graduation he served brief apprenticeships with practical engineers in several domains; and then gave a considerable amount of his time to theoretical and mathematical engineering studies, often in collaboration with his brother, during his twenties in Glasgow. In his late twenties he entered into private practice as a professional engineer with special expertise in water transport. In his early thirties, in 1855, he was appointed professor of civil engineering at Queen's University Belfast. He remained there until 1873, when he accepted the professorship of Civil Engineering and Mechanics at the University of Glasgow (in which post he was successor to the influential William Rankine) until he resigned with failing eyesight in 1889.
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in June 1877. 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】Library and Archive Catalogue ) 〕
He served as President of the Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland from 1884 to 1886. He died in Glasgow in 1892.
