✦ Synopsis
The problem to measure the phenomena of eigenvalue curve veering and mode localization is addressed in this paper. The second derivative of an eigenvalue and the "rst derivative of an eigenvector are taken as the measures, numerically showing curve veering and mode localization. Based on the measurement, close eigenvalues, as a key factor for the occurrence of the phenomena, are de"ned. Two eigenvalues are considered to be close, if their di!erence is small enough to cause the occurrence of the phenomena. The curve veering and mode localization can be noted by comparison of the derivatives with a critical value and hence the associated eigenvalues are close. Weakly coupled springs are given as an example.
