Graduate and undergraduate students from around the world participated in the “MECHS 3-Minute Thesis" video competition. Each entry covered an aspect of a dissertation or thesis related to hybrid simulation, also known as dynamic sub-structuring or pseudo-dynamic testing.

The MECHS team has selected the winners!

Now you can watch the great research ideas that students around the world are working on. The winning entries are also posted on the MECHS website and on the MECHS Youtube channel.
