Behrouz Karami is a mechanical engineer specialising in nonlinear structural mechanics and advanced materials. He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Adelaide, where his research focused on the mechanics and dynamic behaviour of beams, plates, and shell structures with variable mechanical properties. His work combines analytical modelling and computational methods to study nonlinear vibrations, structural dynamics, and wave propagation in functionally graded materials, composites, and mechanical metamaterials. His research interests include nonlinear vibration analysis, metamaterial-inspired structural design, and computational modelling of complex engineering structures.
