Research on Elastic Modulus of Wooden Crates for Simulation

Abstract

The manufacturing process sheet can be output by the design of wooden crates based on Solid Edge. According to the process sheet, the sample crate was produced to obtain and process experimental data of stacking test. By applying inverse method combined with finite element method, the CAE model can be reconstructed quickly. Deflections of the wooden crate were computed by finite element analysis. By comparing deflections to experimental data, elastic modulus of the wooden crate can be adjusted to meet the requirements. The research on elastic modulus will lay the foundation for determining CAE model and structural design optimization of wooden crates.
