Theoretical studies of the stress-strain state of base plates, which are the base of the UZRP-16 universal collapsible machines have been done. These machines are used for welding works in machine building industry. The finite element method was applied to solve the problems. Nature of influence of strength and structural parameters on the base plate stress-strain state in operation has been determined, namely: the relations between displacements and stresses arising in the base plates and the bending moment magnitudes have been recorded; the stress-strain state pattern of the base plates has been obtained depending on the place of bending moment application; influence of the conditions for bearing and fastening the plates on their stress-strain state has been investigated; influence of the plate geometric parameters on stress and displacement has been studied; The stress-material and displacement-material relations have been obtained for the plates. Based on the theoretical study results of the base plate stress-strain state, the following have been obtained: stress plots and patterns of deformed surfaces, which are symmetrical with respect to the plate central axes; maximum values of normal and tangential stress components arising in the field of bending moment application; stress on the rectangular base plate surface is 2.1 times higher than the stress on square plate surface under the same conditions of bearing and loading; stresses acting on the plate surfaces and being tensile stresses within the range of 10 to 70 MPa. It was found that the square shape of the plates, according to the stress state, is predominant in relation to the rectangular shape. The optimal condition for bearing is fixing the plates at nine points. For the first time, graphs were drawn for choosing the base plate thickness under action of various operational loads.
