On negative effective mass and negative group velocity in anharmonic seismic metamaterials

In this work, an anharmonic mass-in-mass system that can be employed as a nonlinear seismic metamaterial is represented as an equivalent anharmonic mass-spring system via an effective medium approach. The dispersion relation and the behavior of the effective mass as a function of the angular frequen...
