Finite element analysis (FEA) does not study the breaking of the material or its elastic deformation, but only what happens from a static point of view when maximum pressure acts on the board, which causes detachment of the veneer particles. Cutting pressure was applied to the surface equal to the diameter of the water jet, located in the center of the laminated wood board. Displacements in the longitudinal and transverse directions were analyzed in each layer of veneer from the composition of the board. This paper presents a study of the deformations of the birch veneer layer of plywood composed of veneer sheets, each with a thickness of 1.4 mm.
