Abstract
We propose a simple mechanical system that can be used as a toy model for calculating the effective density of acoustic metamaterials. Through analytical calculations, it gives a better understanding of how the effective density can become negative, when the system responds elastically instead of inertially. We show that this toy model can reproduce, qualitatively, the acoustical behaviour of some real acoustic metamaterials.
