By means of mathematical modeling, a prediction has been carried out of the strength of thermoplastic adhesive birch-wood joints depending on varying ambient humidity and temperature. An analysis of the obtained results has been made, on the basis of which it is found that elevated ambient temperatures lead to reduced strength of thermoplastic polyvinyl acetate adhesive joints of birch wood, while increased humidity, on the contrary, results in a slight increase in the strength.
