Spruce wood is one of the most widely used materials in the production of lightweight wood-based composites in central Europe. The quality, weight, and geometric parameters of wood chips have a significant impact on the resulting quality of the manufactured composite product. Numerical simulations are necessary for advanced optimization of the quality of composite components and the manufacturing process itself. These simulations require adequate input material data and a model to produce results applicable to the output of industrial practice. In this study, a material model for spruce wood was established using the Taylor anvil test (TAT). This, in contrast to the commonly used Hopkinson compression test, corresponds better to the actual loading process. A new measurement method for shock pulses was developed to implement TAT obtained data for a realistic material model. The method was compared with numerical simulations in Ansys LS DYNA. Based on the results, parameters for the Johnson-Cook equation were determined, which can be applied in the production of disintegrations and, consequently, in the dynamic loading of spruce composite materials.
