About the Author
Prof. Arnab Chanda is an Associate Professor in the Centre for Biomedical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, and a joint faculty at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, AIIMS, Delhi. He is also the founder of a start-up company BIOFIT Technologies LLC, USA. He received his PhD from the University of Alabama, USA and has also been a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Pittsburgh, USA. Dr. Chanda specializes in the area of Biomechanics and Biomaterials, especially in Tissue Mimicking (Artificial Tissues) and Characterization, finite element modeling (FEM), robotics and wearable device development, and entrepreneurship. He has received Young Researcher Award and Early Career Award from ASME, MHRD, and AO Spine International-Singapore, and also holds Top-Cited Paper Awards. He holds and has filed 10+ US and Indian Patents, authored several Books and 100+ articles in various international journals. He currently serves as the Associate Editor for the Journal of Appl. Biomaterials & Func. Materials, Associate Editor for the Frontiers in Medical Engineering, Editorial board member for Nature Scientific Reports, and as the guest editor for several journals such as Engineering Research Express.
Dr. Shubham Gupta is a postdoctoral researcher at Queen Mary University of London, with academic training from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi. His research focuses on tribology, biomechanics, and contact mechanics, with particular emphasis on friction and wear in human–surface interactions. His scholarly work includes several peer-reviewed publications in international journals, contributing to a growing body of research on material behavior, surface interactions, and applied biomechanics. He is also the author of the book “Footwear Traction”, where he explored the fundamental principles governing grip, slip resistance, and safety in footwear systems. Building on this foundation, his research contributes to the understanding of frictional performance, durability, and comfort in footwear applications. Dr. Gupta’s research integrates experimental and analytical approaches to study complex contact phenomena under realistic loading and environmental conditions.
Pramod Yadav is currently a Ph.D. research scholar at the Centre for Biomedical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi. His research centers on mechanical engineering, covering areas spanning tribology, fluid mechanics, and transport phenomena in complex systems. His work focuses on understanding material behavior, surface interactions, and flow-related effects under varying physical and environmental conditions. In the context of friction and wear in footwear, his work focuses the role of surface characteristics, interfacial conditions, and environmental factors on frictional performance and wear behavior. He has made contributions to peer-reviewed publications in international journals and conferences.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
