Abstract: In this paper the role of gradient micro-inertia terms and free micro-inertia terms etalVertp,tVert2 is investigated to unveil their respective effect on the dynamical behavior of band-gap metamaterials. We show that the term alone is only able to disclose relatively simplified dispersive behaviors. On the other hand, the term etalVertp,tVert2 is in charge of the description of the full complex behavior of band-gap metamaterials. A suitable mixing of the two micro-inertia terms allows to describe a new feature of the relaxed-micromorphic model, i.e. the description of a second band-gap occurring for higher frequencies. We also show that a split of the gradient micro-inertia , in the sense of Cartan-Lie decomposition of matrices, allows to flatten separately longitudinal and transverse optic branches thus giving the possibility of a second band-gap. Finally, we investigate the effect of the gradient inertia on more classical enriched models as the Mindlin-Eringen and the internal variable ones. We find that the addition of such gradient micro-inertia allows for the onset of one band-gap in the Mindlin-Eringen model and of three band-gaps in the internal variable model. In this last case, however, non-local effects cannot be accounted for which is a too drastic simplification for most metamaterials. We conclude that, even when adding gradient micro-inertia terms, the relaxed micromorphic model remains the most performing one, among the considered enriched model, for the description of non-local band-gap metamaterials.
