10th Anniversary Special Issue: From Fringe to Mainstream—We Have Come a Long Way
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)At the start of my Ph.D. in 1980, I caught a glimpse, purely by chance, of the emerging field of computer-aided design (CAD). It intrigued and fascinated me to such an extent that I ended ... -
Geometric Constraint Solving in Parametric Computer-Aided Design
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)With parametric computer-aided design (CAD) software, designers can create geometric models that are easily updated (within limits) by modifying the values of controlling parameters. These numeric ... -
Visual Scale Factor for Speed Perception
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)Speed perception is an important task depending mainly on optic flow that the driver must perform continuously to control his/her vehicle. Unfortunately, it appears that in some driving simulators ... -
A Moving Base Simulator Investigation of Effects of a Yaw Stability System Caused by a Side Impact
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)The main objective of this study was to investigate how an electronic stability control (ESC) system may aid the driver in a critical sideswipe accident. Another objective was to investigate ... -
