An Introduction to Waves in Mechanical Periodic Structures and Metamaterials von Arnab Banerjee

Arnab Banerjee is Associate Professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. His research focuses on structural dynamics, wave mechanics, and metamaterials for vibration control in infrastructure and renewable energy systems. He has pioneered work in subwavelength attenuation, active control of ultra-wide bandgaps, meta-dissipation, and non-reciprocal metamaterials. Dr. Banerjee's innovations have led to multiple patents and extensive publications, earning him several national and international recognitions, including induction asYoung Associate in INAE, Early Career Research Awart from IIT Delhi, Inspire faculty award from DST India, and the Newton International Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Royal Society London.Kamal Krishna Bera is Assistant Professor in the Civil Engineering Department, National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli. His expertise spans structural dynamics, vibration control, and wind-induced instabilities,including offshore wind turbines and metamaterial-based isolation. He has pioneered work in active control of ultra-wide bandgaps, meta dissipation, and non-reciprocal metamaterials. He actively collaborates on research in periodic structures and has published widely in leading journals. Dr. Bera combines academic research with practical industry experience in structural engineering.
