Transformed Section

Using a width of 10mm an effective area based on the 0 degree properties of the
wood is calculated.

From here a Z min can be found

Using a built in beam with a uniformly distributed load the bending moment and
a bending stress can be found. For the ABS figure for the off axis orientation
to be a valid figure, this should equal the Modulus of Rupture.
