Nerantzaki Maria

Nerantzaki Maria serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Structural Engineering within the School of Civil Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). Her academic position is based at the Statics and Aseismic Research Laboratory, located at 9 Iroon Polytechniou, Zografou, 15772 Athens, Greece. Contact details include email majori@central.ntua.gr and phone +30 210 772 1643.

Her research focuses on advanced structural mechanics with specialization in plate and membrane theory, viscoelasticity, and computational methods. Key interests include:

• Analysis of plates with variable thickness and inhomogeneous materials
• Application of fractional calculus in viscoelastic modeling
• Development of the Analog Equation Method (AEM) and Boundary Element Method (BEM)
• Nonlinear vibrations and dynamic response of structural elements
• Functionally graded materials and anisotropic structures

Publication trends over two decades (1992-2025) reveal consistent expertise in computational structural mechanics. Her work predominantly addresses plate bending, vibrations, and membrane analysis using specialized numerical techniques. A significant portion involves fractional derivative models for viscoelastic materials (2010-2012), while earlier research (1996-2008) established foundations in variable-thickness plate analysis. The Analog Equation Method emerges as her signature contribution across 70% of publications.
