The lumped-mass method is applied to study the propagation of elastic waves in two-dimensional binary periodic systems, i.e., periodic soft rubber/epoxy and vacuum/epoxy composites, for which the conventional methods fail or converge very slowly. A comprehensive study is performed for the two-dimensional binary locally resonant phononic crystals, which are composed of periodic soft rubber cylinders immersed in epoxy host. Numerical simulations predict that subfrequency gaps also appear because of the high contrast of mass density and elastic constant of the soft rubber. The locally resonant mechanism in forming the subfrequency gaps is thoroughly analyzed by studying the two-dimensional model and its quasi-one-dimensional mechanical analog. The rule used to judge whether a resonant mode in the phononic crystals can result in a corresponding subfrequency gap or not is found.
