The conditions of disintegration of structured formations 
occurring in disperse systems of the solid-dispersed-phase-liquid-
dispersion-medium type, increasing their effective viscosity and 
inhibiting the attainment of a high fluidity by the dispersions, 
have been investigated. The role of inertial effects in attainment 
of the isotropic dynamic state by S/L disperse systems, when 
external vibration action is applied to them, has been studied. 
It has been shown in what manner the presence of particles of 
different mass (and consequently inertia) in the system 
leads to a disintegration of the structure under the action 
of dispersion-medium oscillations.
