<Günter Zumpe> was a civil engineer and professor of mechanics and surface structures at TU Dresden. His institutional obituary records his long association with that university.https://tu-dresden.de/bu/bauingenieurwesen/imf/das-institut/news/240112-professor-zumpe-tot[Departmental obituary, 12 January2024]{ref}
His historical article on <Mohr's circle> connects <Christian Otto Mohr>'s work to the graphical representation of <stress>. The construction turns components of a two-dimensional <stress tensor> into a circle whose intercepts give the <principal stresses>. Zumpe's account places this useful engineering calculation in the history of <mechanics>, including Mohr's 1882 article.<Der Mohrsche Spannungskreis wird 125 Jahre alt by Günter Zumpe>[Dresdner Universitätsjournal12/2008, p9]{ref}
