This article is a good source. The rest is basic mechanics of materials. You check the transformed section as wood and as steel for both bending as shear and use the one with the least strength for design.
 
Check that - I just rechecked it and it does not do exaclty what your are looking for .... Sorry
 
StruCalc v7.0 will do flitch plate design with most any wood type. I haven't used that module yet to comment on the results.
