Strain of a wire tied with an angle in a beam

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on calculating the strain of a steel wire attached to a cantilever beam, which is subjected to vibrations. The wire is positioned at a 30º angle to the beam, and the user seeks a method to derive the wire's strain from the beam's tip displacement data. The user is utilizing a strain gauge to measure the beam's vibrations and is exploring simulation methods to accurately determine the strain based on the observed displacement.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of cantilever beam mechanics
  • Knowledge of strain measurement techniques, specifically using strain gauges
  • Familiarity with vibration analysis in structural engineering
  • Basic principles of material science related to strain and stress
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for calculating strain from displacement data in cantilever beams
  • Explore simulation software options for beam vibration analysis, such as ANSYS or MATLAB
  • Learn about the relationship between angle of force application and strain in materials
  • Investigate advanced strain gauge techniques for dynamic measurements
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, structural analysts, and researchers involved in vibration control and strain measurement in beam structures.

Well, i have a cantilever beam where i have the displacement of the tip of the beam (y axis) data from a vibration of this beam. In the tip of the beam is a steel wire attached, pulling up the beam with an angle (30º for example).

I want to know if exists a form to obtain the strain of the wire based on the displacement of the beam (the vibration).

Thanks

Are these beam questions of yours for schoolwork? If so, they should be posted in the Homework Help forums...

@Gerrgegeorge :

Let us deal with the basic problem on your other thread first . We can come back to this one later .

No, is a project of mine.

I am using a specific material to control the vibration of the beam, this material is a wire. I have tried without the angle (paralel to the beam) but in this mode the force that i need is much high.
As my material varies is force based on his strain i need this information, but the problem is that i only have the vibration of the beam information (strain gage)

I have some ideas, but as i making simulations i want to know the right method.
