abstract = "The linear dynamics of nearly periodic disordered multispan beams resting on flexible supports are investigated. A wave transfer matrix methodology is chosen to examine the propagation of waves and the transmission of vibration along the structure. The spans are bi-coupled through the rotation and the transverse displacement at the supports and thus the beam motion is made up of two independent wave types. It is observed that the spatial decay of each wave type is mainly governed by an exponential envelope.",
