In this paper the influence of the deformation of the shapers of various stiffness on the vibration characteristics of the impact is estimated. In particular, the influence of the deformation on the high-frequency vibrations that appears during the operation of the shapers is also estimated. Both analytical and experimental results of measuring of deformation of shapers are presented. The structure of the model of the shock testing machine developed in Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is described in details. An algorithm for the analysis of vibration characteristics obtained during the tests on the model of an impact machine is presented. The results of studies of the characteristics of the materials which the shock pulse shapers are made of are presented. The life of the shapers made of various materials is estimated. Analytic and experimental dependences of the shaper deformation on the lifting height of the shock table are presented. Conclusions about the effect of shaper deformation on impact parameters are drawn.
