Rather than being sawn from a log, engineered wood is made from pieces that have been peeled, chipped or sliced, and bonded together with glue under pressure and heat. In the manufacturing process, defects in the wood bits are either removed or dispersed, making the final product stronger than the original log. Engineered wood products can typically carry nearly twice the load of an equivalent sawn piece of wood. 6, record 3, English, - engineered%20wood

Contrairement au bois de construction traditionnel qui est fabriqué à partir de grumes(rondins de bois), le bois d’ingénierie provient de l'assemblage de pièces de bois qui ont été coupées, écorcées, mises en copeaux ou en lamelles pour être ensuite collées sous pression, dans des conditions de chaleur contrôlées, ou assemblées par d’autres moyens. Au moment de la fabrication, les défauts qui se trouvent dans les morceaux de bois sont éliminés ou répartis sur toute la surface du produit, de sorte que la résistance du produit fini devient supérieure à celle de la grume qui a servi à sa fabrication. En général, les produits de sciage d’ingénierie en bois peuvent supporter près du double de la charge d’une pièce de bois débité. 3, record 3, French, - bois%20d%27ing%C3%A9nierie

Laminated strand lumber (LSL) is a composite structural material consisting of oriented wood flakes that are glued and compressed to form panels up to 90 mm (3-1/2 inches) thick. This material is an attractive alternative to solid sawn lumber because it has stronger properties than solid lumber of the same species as well as less variability. 2, record 4, English, - laminated%20strand%20lumber

Simultaneous engineering is understood to mean an integrated, parallel approach to designing the product and the process at the same time, e.g. in vehicle development. The basic idea of this concept is to move from formerly strictly sequential, discrete processes towards carrying them out in parallel or overlapping them. 3, record 6, English, - simultaneous%20engineering
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Design process is defined as being the whole of the tasks necessary for an idea, originating from customer needs, to be achieved as a product or service satisfying the said customer's needs. Some of these tasks are sequential, but as the "time to market" (development cycle) has to be shorter every day, several tasks are led in parallel: risk studies are launched even before having finished the functional analysis, etc... This concept is named Simultaneous Engineering, or Competing Engineering or Integrated Development. It is supported by a serie of methodologic tools, based on quality (Quality Function Deployment - QFD, Value Analysis, Functional Analysis, FMEA, Design For Manufacturing, ...) and organization (Project Group, Process Organization, ...) as well as on technologic means (Computer Assisted Design, Computer Assisted Manufacturing, Fast Prototype Process, ...). 2, record 6, English, - simultaneous%20engineering
