Acoustic Resonance Distribution for Core-Shell Scatterers
Acoustic metamaterials can exhibit unusual effective properties through mechanisms such as energy localization and resonant behavior in their constituent building blocks. Here, we investigate the internal acoustic energy of fluid core-shell spheres and map how resonances emerge from the interplay between material contrasts and shell geometry. The resulting phase diagram reveals an organized resonant landscape across distinct impedance-contrast regimes. From this structure, we obtain two compact predictive relations: one for resonance existence and another for spectral recurrence of successive peaks. Together, they enable the rapid identification of material and geometric combinations associated with targeted resonance responses. The framework is further tested against representative systems from the literature, reproducing their observed behavior. These results provide a physics-based route for screening and tailoring resonant core-shell building blocks before full-wave numerical simulations.
