Eng ineering theory of elastic plastic bending is used in solving a grate variety of strength and durability problems. The accuracy of analysis depends on stress-strain curve idealizat ion model. The elastic linear hardening stress-strain relation is simp le and frequently used. But the actual stress-strain behaviour of ductile material in plastic reg ion is non-linear and, therefore, elastic power hardening material model is more p referab le. Moreover, the properties of monotonic tension and compression as proportional limits and parameters of hardening can differ. In this regard, analytical solution for rectangular and circular cross-section elements loading by monotonic elastic plastic pure bending is presented in the paper. The simp le power relation of stress and strain response is used. The equations describing deviation of the stress neutral axis fro m centroidal axis of an element and dimensionless bending mo ment are derived.

An analysis of the company's existing palletizing process has been performed, and the most appropriate method of process modernization has been selected accordingly. Also, a robot was selected according to the type of container to be palletized and its weight. A prototype of a robot manipulator gripper has been designed. The load calculation of the gripper levers was performed, the pneumatic cylinders for the lever control were selected. Lever strength analysis was also performed. The gripper mass was determined.

This paper is an attempt to a new approach in seaweed cultivation module that is carried out by a company UAB Metal Production in Lithuania. The article is concerned with how the module made of PE80 works under given conditions. The aim was to study the design of seaweed cultivation module, determine its stresses and displacements with Solidworks Simulation. The maximum depth of immersion up to 30 m is considered, as well as influence of seawater flow. It was determined that the module is designed within the factor of safety limits.
