Abstract: | Combined spring-plastic shock absorbers, in which the part of load-bearing elements is played by springs while the plastic components with high internal friction provide for the intense absorption of vibration energy on passage through resonance, are subjected to a theoretical analysis. The model of the plastic component incorporates elastic and high-elastic elements connected in series, the high-elastic component of the total deformation being expressed by a fractional integration operator (see 5]).V.
