Localization of bending waves is observed on a steel plate decorated with Lucite blocks. A significant experimental feature of the localized modes is an exponential decay of the mode intensity from their peaked centers, with a decay length that increases as (f₀-f)^-1 when the mode frequency f approaches a quasi mobility edge f₀. Our experimental results, together with finite-element calculations, support the mechanism of strong bending wave scattering by the Lucite block resonances as the source of the localization phenomenon.
