The deflection of a test material occurs under bending stress that is caused by force. In terms of plasticity and elasticity, the deflection can be quantified at two main areas, which are the limit of proportionality and the modulus of rupture. Both of these deflections are of great importance in terms of the scientific and practical use. These characteristics are particularly important when designing structural elements that are exposed to bending stress in terms of the size of the deflection in their practical application. This study analyzed the effect on the size of the deflection at the limit of proportionality and at the modulus of rupture. Wood species (Fagus sylvatica L. and Populus tremula L.), material thickness (6 mm, 10 mm, and 18 mm), non-wood component (glass and carbon fiber), position of the non-wood component in the layered material (up and down side with respect to the loading direction), and adhesive used to join the individual layers (polyurethane and polyvinyl acetate) were the observed factors. Glass fiber reinforcement proved to be a better option; however, the effect of correctly selected glue for individual wood species was also apparent. For the aspen laminated materials, polyurethane adhesive (PUR) adhesive was shown to be a more effective adhesive and PVAc adhesive was better for the beech-laminated materials. These results are of great importance for the production of new wood-based materials and materials were based on non-wood components, with specific properties for their intended use.
