A disordered structure with weakly coupled subsystems has localized modes with the vibratory energy concentrated in one part of the mode shape. The localization of modes may significantly affect the forced vibration response, increasing the maximum vibration amplitude dramatically in some cases. It is the scope of this paper to study the forced vibration of nearly periodic systems consisting of almost identical substructures and to analyze their free and forced dynamic responses probabilistically. It is shown that the sensitivity of the forced response to the degree of localization depends on a combination of the symmetry of the mode, which is excited, and the phase difference between the forces acting on each substructure. These results might explain the range of contrasting conclusions of earlier publications on the effects of forced response on mistuned structures. A probabilistic analysis of the free and forced responses of a nearly periodic structure is shown to be useful in the design of structures that are sensitive to the degree of localization. The results of the probabilistic analysis are verified using Monte Carlo simulation.
