This paper considers a spatially periodic structure consisting of identical rigid members which are connected to adjoining ones under the action of nonlinear restoring moments. The members extend straight in equilibrium and the displacements are restricted in a plane. The numerical solutions to the governing equations with free boundary conditions at both ends and the appropriate initial conditions show that movable intrinsic localized modes (ILMs) can be excited and that they exhibit a variety of interesting interactions between them.
