Jordan, Eric
Title: Research Professor (Emeritus Faculty)
Highest Degree: Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1978
E-Mail: eric.jordan@uconn.edu

Dr. Jordan joined the Department in 1979. Initially, his research dealt with issues related to gas turbine hot section stress analysis and associated application of fracture mechanics to predict the crack growth lives of engine parts. His work has included both experimental and theoretical studies involving high temperature materials behavior and stress analysis. Some of […]
