The Optimum Design of Production Technology of the Poplar LVL

Abstract:

In this paper, the production technology of laminated veneer lumber was optimized by using the uniform design method. The effects of production technology, such as the press duration, the press temperature, the press pressure and the adhesive spread, were found statistically significant on some mechanical properties of LVL. So in this paper, the thickness of LVL board was a fixed value, but the press duration, the press temperature and the adhesive spread were variable. The modulus of elasticity (MOE) and static bending strength (MOR) as predicted by the ANN approach and the regression functions were compared with the experimental values. It was shown that the proposed neural network model was able to predict valuable mechanical properties, such as the modulus of elasticity and static bending strength, that would facilitate the development of optimum design of properties for manufacturing high quality materials.
