Industrial Fellow Commoner at Churchill College, Cambridge.Some of his discoveries are still applied in the construction of fibre-reinforced parts for aircraft and rockets. įrom 1962 he was head of a new branch at the Explosives Research and Development Establishment (ERDE), Waltham Abbey dealing with completely new structural materials. He designed the rescue dinghies for most bomber aircraft used in the war, and studied the strength and behaviour of reinforcement fibres made of glass, carbon, boron and other materials.Īfter the war he worked at Tube Investments (TI) at the Group Research Laboratory, Hinxton Hall, near Cambridge.
During World War II he worked at the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) here he studied composite materials, wooden aircraft, plastics and new materials of many types. Gordon graduated in naval architecture at Glasgow University. James Edward Gordon (UK, 1913–1998) was one of the founders of materials science and biomechanics, and a well-known author of three books on structures and materials, which have been translated in many languages and are still widely used in schools and universities.
