This book will offer a quick overview of the most cutting-edge uses of the computer in engineering design, "virtual testing", and "virtual applications". The readers will find clearly illustrated, well-documented case examples that help to bring the abstractions of computer simulation to meaningful practical reality. Contributing authors from a wide variety of engineering disciplines - from both academia and industry - will bring a full perspective to what is new in the use of computer-based engineering design. The readers will find: new case studies on Virtual Prototyping, Virtual Reality training systems; industrial maintenance, and virtual design for biomedical applications; breaking new developments on using touch-based computer tools like the "virtual movement" glove; and a novel study on use of Virtual Engineering for globally dispersed engineering teams on collaborative projects.
