Abstract Vibrational properties of elastic composites containing a mass-in-mass microstructure embedded in a solid matrix are numerically studied. Using a lattice model, we investigate the vibrational density of states in three-dimensional composite structures where resonant particles are randomly dispersed. By dispersing such particles in the system, a sonic band gap appears. It is confirmed that this band gap can be introduced in a desired frequency regime by changing the parameters of resonant particles and the frequency width of this band gap can be controlled by varying the concentration of the resonant particles to be dispersed. In addition, multiple sonic band gaps can be realized using different species of resonant particles. These results enable us to suggest an alternative method to fabricate devices that can inhibit the propagation of elastic waves with specific frequencies using acoustic metamaterials.
