Annotation

Mechanical systems that combine structural elements with elastic and viscous properties and operate under dynamic and impulse loads require accurate mathematical models to predict their oscillatory behaviour. The purpose of this study was to develop a mathematical model of an elastic-damper system based on the Kelvin-Voigt body, aimed at describing viscoelastic material behaviour and analysing the influence of stiffness and damping parameters on the dynamic response of the system. The research applied analytical methods for solving differential equations, analysis of characteristic equations for both real and complex roots, as well as algebraic transformations for constructing general and particular solutions. As a result, an analytical solution was obtained for determining the dynamic response of the masses under impulse loading. The proposed model took into account variable stiffness, damping, and mass parameters, and distinguishes between regimes with real and complex eigenvalues. It was established that increasing the damping coefficient reduces amplitude and accelerates oscillation decay, while increasing mass extends the decay duration. The influence of pulse duration and repetition frequency on the oscillation profile was investigated. The simulation results confirmed the accuracy of the analytical expressions and enable the modelling of transient processes under various conditions. Compared to purely numerical approaches, the proposed method provides broader opportunities for system analysis and control. The developed model can be applied in the study of technical systems with arbitrary configurations of elastic-viscous element connections and varying numbers of components, making it possible to optimise the design of systems that utilise oscillations, vibrations, damping.

Keywords: two-mass system, differential equations, characteristic equation, elasticity, damper.
