Buckling mode localization in a multi-span periodic structure with a disorder in a single spanThis paper investigates the buckling mode localization in the periodic multi-span beam with disorder occurring in an arbitrary single span. The analytical finite difference calculus is used in conjunction with the conventional displacement method to derive the transcendental equations from which buckling load is calculated. The underlying treatment is general and the solution thus obtained is exact. Numerical results show that the buckling mode is highly localized in the vicinity of the disordered span of the beam.
