Vibration localization characteristics of mistuned repeated structures are investigated. The mistuning often creates significant response discrepancies among subcomponents of a repeated structure. As the result of the discrepancies, critical fatigue often occurs in a repeated structure. Therefore, it is of great importance to predict the vibration response of the mistuned repeated structures accurately. In this paper, a simplified model is employed and dimensionless parameters that influence the localization characteristics are identified. Through parameter study, two localization phenomena are investigated and compared.

Vibration localization characteristics of open loop repeated mistuned structures are investigated. The mistuning often creates significant response discrepancies among subcomponents of the repeated structures. As a result of the discrepancies, critical fatigue problems often occur in repeated structures. Therefore. it is of great importance to predict the vibration response of the mistuned repeated structures accurately in this Paper, a simplified model for an open-loop repeated structure is introduced and dimensionless parameters that influence the localization characteristics are identified. The effects of the parameters on the localization characteristics are investigated through numerical study.
