Textbook in PDF format

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
