The textbook includes the development of new methods of determining the static and impact hardness of wood and laminated plastics, taking into account the structure, which to date have no similar analogues. The feasibility of their use and novelty is confirmed by patents of Ukraine. The textbook may be recommended to students of higher educational establishments, post-graduates, engineers and technicians, works and design offices. The purpose of this textbook is to introduce new methods of testing static and impact hardness of wood and laminated plastics at enterprises to perform rational calculations of geometry and design of finished products, as well as saving materials for their manufacture.
