We discuss the classic rotary inertia notion and extend it for microstructured beams introducing new microinertia parameters as an additional dynamic response to microstructure changes. Slender structures made of beam- or platelet-lattice metamaterials may exhibit not only large translations and rotations but also general deformations of inner structure. Here we considered a few examples of beam-like structures and derive their inertia properties which include effective mass density, rotary inertia and microinertia. Extended dynamic characteristics related to enhanced kinematics may be crucial for description of origami-like structures or other beam-lattice metamaterials.
