The current research aims to extend the existing knowledge about weight reduction of wood based panels with plywood faces and glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) stiffeners, where experimental prototypes have been analysed and optimized utilizing ANSYS finite element code and design of computer experiments. The initial study demonstrated that replacing homogeneous core of plywood boards with corrugated glass fibre composite hollow core it is possible to reach up to 65 % weight reduction at the same time keeping stiffness unchanged.
