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.
