RESUMO

In this research, the phenomenon of vibration modes localization in nearly periodic modular structures of linear and nonlinear behavior is studied. Of special interest is an application in Civil Engineering, lightly coupled periodic plate panels with small imperfections, mainly submitted to the variation of membrane forces introduced by prestress forces, which can be only considered by introducing geometric stiffness in the mathematical model. In the linear case, the presence of small disorders in the stiffness or mass characteristics of lightly coupled sub-systems can cause spatial confinement of free vibrations, known as Mode Localization, and can inhibit the propagation of the forced response. That is what has been shown in the literature, especially in the areas of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. The effects of localization are viewed from a modal perspective. DYMPLATE, a finite element software implemented by the author for nonlinear dynamic analysis of plates, will be utilized to model ordered and disordered plate periodic structures. The models are linearized about a deformed reference configuration. The algebraic eigenvalue problem is solved to obtain the natural frequencies and corresponding modes shapes. Plane structures constituted by prestressed plates with repetitive dynamic characteristics, small imperfections and different boundary conditions and loads, will be utilized in the numerical investigation of the influence of numerous factors in the Mode Localization.
