Testing system for composite wood based strips

Wood based composite products are widely used. Wood based composite strips, where wood peel layers are oriented in the same direction, are relatively new product in furniture industry. They are usually used as spring elements. Mechanical properties of such elements are characterised by the bending strength, static and dynamic stiffness. Beside standardized and well known testing methods, characteristics of wood based products may be determined using acoustic emission, ultrasonic, and multicycle load testing techniques. These testing means are realised in the presented developed system for composite wood based strips
