Metamaterials are artificial, engineered materials designed to manipulate wave propagation in ways not possible with conventional materials. An Introduction to Waves in Mechanical Periodic Structures and Metamaterials presents a systematic and rigorous treatment of wave propagation in periodic structures, with a particular focus on mechanical and acoustic metamaterials. This book bridges fundamental concepts and advanced topics, offering a unified framework to analyze discrete and continuous periodic systems.
Key topics include:
- Comprehensive mathematical formulation of wave propagation in 1D and 2D periodic structures
- In-depth discussion on spectral element formulation, transfer matrix method, and bandgap formation
- Coverage of advanced concepts such as energy transportation, meta-damping, non-reciprocity, active control, and nonlinear metamaterials
- Unique focus on damping evaluation in metamaterials, critical for shock resistance, and transient dynamic applications
This book serves as an accessible yet rigorous resource for senior undergraduate and graduate students in structural engineering, mechanical engineering, applied physics, and materials science, as well as for researchers seeking to deepen their understanding of wave mechanics in metamaterials.

About the Author
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.

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 Biblios, frankfurt am main, Germany, 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.
