Vertical vibrations of traction engine with viscoelastic suspension

The tasks of a traction engine with suspension elements and additional devices for converting movement (DCM) are considered. The object of protection, the estimated dynamic state, is solid with mass M and moment of inertia J relative to the center of gravity. To account the suspension material's rheological properties, the Boltzmann-Volterra principle is used. Mathematical models of the problem under consideration are obtained, which are described by the systems of integro-differential equations. A solution method based on quadrature formulas is developed, and a computer program is compiled based on its basis, the results of which are reflected in the graphs. The influence of DCM and rheological properties of the suspension material on the shape of the vertical vibrations of the object is investigated.
