The work is devoted to the study of the bending of cantilever rods in the presence of inclusions leading to a significant increase in the angles of rotation of the rod sections. The presence in the structure of the rod of sections that are inhomogeneous in stiffness and are not subject to bending, but having different lengths and numbers, leads to the need to develop models of bends, in contrast to the simplified equations known in the literature. An example of the calculation of bends and stiffness of the rod in the presence of inclusions of various lengths is given. The calculation was carried out in the direct calculation mode in the PC MatLAB system. The initial data were taken for corn stalks based on field and laboratory studies of limbs within elastic deformations. Analytical models for the rigidity of the rod are obtained, calculations and graphs of the bends of the rod are given.
