Modeling additional supports that affect the non-stationary deformation of lamellar structural elements is associated with a number of idealizations and assumptions. Many sources describe the deformation of supported structural elements using absolutely rigid additional supports or stiffeners. In reality, additional supports have viscoelastic properties (viscous and elastic components). When studying non-stationary vibrations, one should also take into account the mass-inertial properties of additional supports. Goal. The goal of the work is: 1) refinement of the existing mathematical model of an additional viscoelastic support by taking into account the influence of its mass-inertial characteristics; 2) study of the influence of these characteristics on the non-stationary deformation of a rectangular plate. Methodology. The non-stationary deformation of beams or plates is described by systems of partial differential equations. For these objects, good results are given by models based on the hypotheses of S.P. Timoshenko, taking into account the inertia of rotation and shear. Such systems of equations can be solved by expanding the sought functions (displacements and angles of rotation) in the corresponding series and using the direct and inverse integral Laplace transform. The determination of the unknown reaction of the additional viscoelastic support, taking into account its mass-inertial characteristics, is carried out on the basis of solving the Volterra integral equations. Results. In this work, an analytical and numerical solution in a general form is obtained, which makes it possible to determine the dependence of the change in time of reaction between the plate and the additional support for various parameters of the mechanical system. Originality. The solution to this problem is based on the further development by the authors of an approach to modeling additional supports in the form of additional unknown non-stationary loads, which are determined from the analysis of Volterra integral equations. Practical value. Examples of calculations for the considered mechanical system at three different values of mass are given. It is shown that the mass-inertial characteristics of the additional support cause a noticeable effect on the oscillatory process, and the changes concern both amplitude and phase characteristics.
