| contents | Mechanical metamaterials have recently gathered increasing attention for their uncommon mechanical responses enabling unprecedented applications for elastic wave control. To model the mechanical response of large metamaterials' samples made up of base unit cells, so-called homogenization or upscaling techniques come into play trying to establish an equivalent continuum model describing these macroscopic metamaterials' characteristics. A common approach is to assume a priori that the target continuum model is a classical linear Cauchy continuum featuring the macroscopic displacement as the only kinematical field. This implies that the parameters of such continuum models (density and/or elasticity tensors) must be considered to be frequency-dependent to capture the complex metamaterials' response in the frequency domain. These frequency-dependent models can be useful to describe some of the aforementioned macroscopic metamaterials' properties, yet, they suffer some drawbacks such as featuring negative masses and/or elastic coefficients in some frequency ranges. More than being counter-intuitive, this implies that the considered Cauchy continuum is not positive-definite for all the considered frequencies. In this paper, we present a procedure, based on the definition of extra kinematical variables (with respect to displacement alone) and the use of the inverse Fourier transform in time, to convert a frequency-dependent model into an enriched continuum model of the micromorphic type. All the parameters of the associated enriched model are constant (i.e., frequency-independent) and the model itself remains positive-definite for all the considered frequency ranges. The response of the frequency-dependent model and the associated micromorphic model coincide in the frequency domain, in particular when looking at the dispersion curves. |
