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
