Raymond R. McHenryProfessional Experience

1980 to date. Staff Scientist, McHenry Consultants,

Inc., Cary, North Carolina. Technical Duties: Investigation of highway

accidents. Application of analytical and experimental techniques to the

reconstruction of vehicle and occupant dynamics in highway collisions.

Evaluation and analysis of vehicle defects and failure modes. Performance

of research related to highway safety.

1978 to 1980. Staff Scientist, Research Engineers,

Inc., Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Technical duties: Application

of analytical and experimental techniques to the reconstruction of vehicle

and occupant dynamics in highway collisions. Evaluation and analysis of

vehicle defects and failure modes. Performance of research related to highway

safety.

1961 to 1978. Staff Scientist,

Calspan (formerly

Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, Inc.), Buffalo, New York. Technical duties:

As a Staff Scientist with Calspan Field Services, Inc., and previously

with Calspan Corporation, Mr. McHenry was responsible for the technical

direction of a variety of research projects related to the improvement

of highway safety. He was involved in the application of analytical and

experimental techniques to the problems of occupant protection in collisions

and he analyzed automobile dynamics in single vehicle accidents and in

violent evasive maneuvers. He also served as the Principal Investigator

on the development of techniques for analytical reconstruction of highway

accidents [Simulation Model of Automobile Collisions (SMAC) and Calspan

Reconstruction of Accident Speeds on the Highway (CRASH)].

Mr. McHenry developed techniques for study of physical

criteria for roadside structures and cross-section designs by mathematically

modeling the dynamics of single vehicle accidents [Highway Vehicle Object

Simulation Model (HVOSM)]. He performed analyses and developed computer

simulations of the dynamics of automobile braking and of the ride and steering

dynamics of the Westinghouse Transit Expressway Vehicle. He studied advanced

technology applicable to highway transportation in the Boston-Washington

Corridor in 1980. He developed a nonlinear mathematical model of the automobile

crash victim and mathematical models of highway guardrails and test vehicles

for simulation of impact.

1960 to 1961. Technical Advisor, American Machine

& Foundry Company, Greenwich, Connecticut. Technical duties: Mr. McHenry

was technical advisor on the design of vehicles for aircraft cargo loading

(Air Force 463L System).

1956 to 1960. Senior Design Engineer, Ford Motor

Company, Dearborn, Michigan. Technical duties: Senior Design Engineer and

Project Engineer on programs involving experimental hydropneumatic suspension

vehicles, air suspension vehicles, and stroke-sensitive shock absorber

design and development. Member of the Ford Advanced Ride and Handling Committee.

1953 to 1956. Chrysler Corporation, Highland Park,

Michigan. Technical Duties: Participated in various experimental suspension

and chassis component design and development programs. He also served as

a mathematics instructor in calculus, analytic geometry and algebra (Lawrence

Institute of Technology, Chrysler Institute, Detroit).
