Vibration Localization of a Periodic Structure Undertaking External Force

외력을 받는 주기적 구조물의 진동 국부화

Vibration localization of a periodic structure with mistuning is presented in this paper. Mistuning in periodic structures can lead to an increase of the forced response which is much larger than those of perfectly tuned assembly. Thus, mistuning has a critical impact on high cycle fatigue in structures, and it is of great importance to predict the mistuned forced response in efficient manner. In this paper, forced response of a coupled pendulum is investigated to identify localization effects of periodic structures. The effects of mistuning and damping on the maximum forced response are examined. It is seen that in certain condition of mistuning and coupling, strong localization occurs and this can be significant under weak damping.
