NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE GEOMETRY OF LOGS FOR SAWING INDUSTRIES

Currently, the majority of wood sawing industries in Cameroun have as a concern the search for an optimization of the production. It is a question of having a good output matter during the cutting up. Thisproblem passes by knowledge of the geometry of the wood log, the strategies of cutting up and the quality of output. In this paper we develop a tool able to represent the log geometry with an aim at carrying out an optimal cutting up. We used representation by the analytical equations of the geometry of the external structure of the log ; that enables us to obtain an algorithm which helps to numerically generate the external structure of the wood.
