Abstract
A mathematical model of flexible-rod spatial vibroisolating suspension, describing the motion of protected object, is considered. An algorithm is proposed for solving the problem of spatial displacement of the object under the action of static forces applied in an arbitrary direction. The coefficients of stiffness matrix of the suspension are determined depending on the position of static equilibrium. It is demonstrated that, depending on the requirements by varying geometrical parameters of the rods, different dynamic properties of the suspension may be obtained.
