The three point bending test, according the Brazilian Standard ABNT NBR 7190, enables to identify the values of two wood properties: conventional modulus of elasticity and conventional strength on static bending test. With the results, this study aimed to perform a numerical simulation using the finite element software ABAQUS and the experimental results of three point bending test using Simarouba amara Aubl wood specie test proofs. Two analysis were performed, considering wood as elastoplastic material in the first and the second, considering only elastic material. From stress-strain diagrams results, it was observed the evaluation of modulus of elasticity on static bending test is not valid due to material non-linearity. A constitutive model was proposed for Simarouba amara Aubl. wood specie and for evaluation of modulus of elasticity on static bending. It was performed a comparative analysis between experimental results and the proposed constitutive model. These models showed their efficiency when evaluated the normal stress on proof test with demonstrated accuracy, allowing its use by wood structures designers.
