The nonlinear vibrational properties of a periodic micromechanical oscillator array have beenmeasured. For sufficiently large amplitude of the driver, the optic mode of the di-element cantileverarray becomes unstable and breaks up into excitations ranging over only a few cells. A driver-inducedlocking effect is observed to eternalize some of these intrinsic localized modes so that their amplitudesbecome fixed and the modes become spatially pinned
