Enhanced prediction of its dynamic behaviour. European Journal of Mechanics - A/Solids, 97, 104801.0997-7538https://hdl.handle.net/10016/37717In this paper, a novel anisotropic membrane lattice with nearest and next-nearest interactions (long-range forces) has been continualized through different standard and non-standard continualization procedures, which enables the development of new non-classical continuum models capable of accurately capturing the scale effects, present in the matter due to its discrete nature. The performance of these continuum models is assessed by means of both dispersion and natural frequencies analyses, where the discrete model is considered as a reference. In addition, the appearance of certain physical inconsistencies in some of the developed models is analysed, concluding that these only appear for those developed with continualizations based on Taylor expansion. Interestingly, the non-standard models suitably capture the dispersive behaviour of the discrete one, without both physical inconsistencies and higher-order spatial derivatives, thus avoiding the need for extra boundary conditions when finite solids are involved.18eng© 2022 The Authors.Atribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 EspañaContinualizationDispersive behaviourMembrane latticeNatural frequenciesNext-nearest interactionsPseudo-differential operatorresearch articleBiología y BiomedicinaElectrónicaFísicaIngeniería IndustrialIngeniería MecánicaMaterialesTelecomunicacioneshttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.euromechsol.2022.104801open access110480118European Journal of Mechanics - A/Solids97AR/0000032497
