Probalistic vibration analysis of nearly periodic structures

The localization of modes of nearly periodic structures causes a concentration of energy in one part of the mode shape. It occurs for a disordered structure with weakly coupled subsystems. The forced excitation of localized modes may affect the maximum response amplitude of the system. Two nearly pe...
