Andrea Arena
Associate Editor
Associate Professor, Sapienza University of Rome
Dr. Andrea Arena is Associate Professor of Mechanics of Solids and Structures at the Department of Structural and Geotechnical Engineering, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy. He teaches classes of Structural Mechanics, at the Bachelor level, and of Structural Dynamics, at the Master level.
Dr. Arena graduated in Civil Engineering at Sapienza University of Rome in 2008 and received his PhD in Structural Engineering at Sapienza University of Rome in 2012. He is an active member of the Technical Committee of the International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Control (MSNDC) as part of ASME-IDETC since August 2022. Dr. Arena’s research interests include nonlinear dynamics of cable structures such as suspension bridges, container cranes, ropeways, cable-driven parallel manipulators, and pendular systems but concern also the dynamics of rings and other periodic systems such as cellular metamaterials. Parametric nonlinear modeling and asymptotic treatment of the equations of motion, including bifurcation analysis, are the main peculiarities of his scientific works. He is now involved in the development of novel parametric models for the study and the design of periodic cellular metamaterials in collaboration with the University of Genoa, Italy.
