Abstract
 

Medium density fiber board is one of the wood composites used widely in furniture industry. Therefore, strengthen of medium density fiber board is needed. Sandwiched material is manufactured by inserting medium density fiber board between the glass fiber reinforced laminates as sandwich. Finite element model is built to predict mechanical properties of sandwiched medium density fiber board in tension and bending. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental data.
