SAŽETAK • Cilj je ovog rada pokazati mogućnost primjene računalnih programa za procjenu mehaničkih svojstava uslojenog drva i njihovu daljnju primjenu u kvantitativnim metodama. Analiza je ograničena na dva mehanička svojstva i na tri debljine furnirskih ploča (4,5; 12; 21 mm ABSTRACT • The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the possibility of applying computer programs for the evaluation of mechanical properties of wood, aiming at their further use in quantitative methods. The analysis is done of two mechanical properties and to three thicknesses of veneer plywood (4.5, 12, 21 mm). Mechanical properties that have been determined are fl exural strength and modulus of elasticity, both parallel and perpendicular to the outer veneer fi ber direction. Input parameters for the modeling were material properties with predefi ned values in the software used, and they were specifi c for Northern European hardwoods (PC-Bu) and material properties characteristic for Croatian area, which were achieved by experimental methods (EM-Bu). The results obtained were compared to the results of testing veneer plywood by destructive methods (FP-D). The analysis of the results
