Popis: A structured cylindrical scatterer with low-frequency resonances in both the effective bulk modulus and the dynamical mass density is designed and characterized. The proposed scattering unit is made of a rigid cylinder surrounded by a fluid-like shell embedded in a two-dimensional waveguide of height less than the length of the cylindrical scatterer. It is demonstrated that the acoustic metamaterials based on this building unit have negative acoustic parameters in a broad range of frequencies. It is also shown that double-negative behavior can be tailored by adjusting the dimensions and properties of the materials forming the structured scattering unit.
