“…Computational simulations of log cutting have been tested for specific variables and scenarios, as well as for different species, and the results have shown the importance of this technique for the optimization of the industrial process of log sawing methods and maximization of yield (Buehlmann and Thomas, 2001;Ikonen et al, 2003;Moberg and Nordmark, 2006;Pinto et al, 2006;Knapic et al, 2011;Berglund et al, 2013;Fredriksson et al, 2015;Stängle et al, 2015;Wery et al, 2018).…”
