Elastic metamaterials provide a new approach to solving existing problems in vibration and acoustics. They have also been associated with novel concepts such as acoustic invisibility and subwavelength imaging. To be applied to many of the proposed applications a metamaterial would need to have the desired mass density and elastic moduli over a prescribed frequency band. Importantly active metamaterials provide a degree of adaptability. This paper will focus on extending a previous theoretical concept to a more realistic experimental design. This will include a consideration of the problems which arise when the theory and simulation are developed into an experimental demonstration, including the role which the control system dynamics play in the achievable performance. The adaptability of the bandwidth in which the properties achieve their desired values will also be investigated.
