A method for modeling hydraulic systems of hydromechanical devices based on the application of the volume rigidity theory - the property of the hydraulic system to keep its volume unchanged when the pressure of the working medium changes is proposed. The main analytical dependencies intended for modeling the hydraulic system are presented. An example of simulation and calculation of a hydromechanical shock absorber system which confirms the correctness and convenience of using the volume rigidity theory in modeling hydromechanical drive systems of complex machines is presented. The results of the numerical experiment make it possible to evaluate the functioning quality of the drive system under investigation to reveal the effect of the main design and system functional parameters on its operation. The graphs of the change in the main functional parameters of the shock absorber under investigation in real time are given, which make it possible to visually evaluate the results of a numerical experiment and draw conclusions about the need for modernization.
