Michael W. Sayers, Ph.D. Company Co-Founder
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 9, 2004 – Michael W. Sayers, Ph.D., heads all technical work conducted by Mechanical Simulation Corporation, including software development, documentation and creation of promotional and marketing information. His technical expertise includes vehicle dynamics, multibody dynamics, numerical analysis methods, symbolic computation, vibration analysis, statistics and characterizing road roughness.
Dr. Sayers is credited with developing the world’s most advanced automated code generation capability for vehicles and other multibody systems. He also created the Simulation Graphical User Interface (SGUI) that integrates math model solver programs, plotters, animation and a database, and the International Roughness Index (IRI) used worldwide as a standard scale for characterizing road roughness.
After serving as a senior research scientist at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, he co-founded Mechanical Simulation Corporation (in 1996) to provide vehicle simulation software based on his programs. The company’s primary products – CarSim, TruckSim and BikeSim – are based on Dr. Sayers’ concepts.
Dr. Sayers earned B.S. and M.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from M.I.T., and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan. He has authored or co-authored over 80 papers and technical reports
