In pattern-forming systems, localized patterns are states of intermediate complexity between fully extended ordered patterns and completely irregular patterns. They are formed by stationary fronts enclosing an ordered pattern inside an…
The emergence of localised vibrations in cyclic and symmetric rotating structures, such as bladed disks of aircraft engines, has challenged engineers in the past few decades. In the linear regime, localised states may arise due to a lack of…
