What mechanical or hydraulic device transforms the kinetic energy of the shock into another type of energy (usually heat)?

A shock absorber is a mechanical device intended to absorb and dampen shock impulses. This is accomplished by transforming the kinetic energy of the shock into another type of energy (usually heat). The majority of shock absorbers are dashpots.
