In this paper, the analytical homogenization method of Periodic Discrete Media (HPDM) and the numerical Condensed Wave Finite Element Method (CWFEM) are employed to study the wave propagation in two-dimensional periodic beam lattices. The validity of the HPDM is re-evaluated using the wave propagation feature identified by the CWFEM. Particular attention is paid to the polarization direction of the waves. The wave propagation in two directions is investigated while characteristic wave propagation features such as local resonance, veering and locking phenomena are observed. Complementary results are deduced from the two methods.
