Equipment packages for shock resistance

A portable electronic device, comprising:

• a flexible shell;
• a plurality of flexible fillers attached to said shell, said flexible fillers being structural components of said device;
• and
• a plurality of electronic components attached to said fillers,
• wherein each of said plurality of fillers is formed from a filler material composition having predetermined elastic and damping coefficients selected to be matched optimally to said plurality of electronic components and arranged to provide shock damping to each of said plurality of objects, and
• wherein said fillers are selected based on characteristics of said components and said flexible shell has elastic and damping coefficients selected to be matched optimally to said plurality of electronic components,
• wherein said plurality of electronic components act as a highly damped flexible grouping such that the plurality of electronic components are allowed to move with respect to each other in a mechanically optimized way.

A portable electronic device, comprising:

• a flexible chassis;
