I’d like to thank several people for their assistance and guidance with this project.  First, my advisors, Drs. Jack Lesko and Don Ohanehi provided me with substantial project input and advice.  Dr. Ohanehi supplied me with the finite element models he created, and data crucial to my deflection analysis.  He also supplied me with critical background information on the project and the finite element tools he was using.

 Dr. Ronald D. Kriz and Sanjiv Parikh helped create the CAVE-viewable data types, and provided advice and support for my work.
