1) The problem calculates the transformed stiffness matrix Q' for a material at an angle of 45 degrees and determines that (Q11)' = 13.612, (Q12)' = 6.034, and (Q22)' = 13.612. 2) It then calculates the stresses and strains in a beam with given dimensions, materials properties, and a applied load. It determines the normal strains are ε11 = 5x10^-6 and ε22 = -1.37x10^-7 and the shear strain is γ12 = 0. 3) It then transforms the strains to the global coordinate system using a transformation matrix and determines the transformed normal strains are εxx = εyy
