The engineers measured the tensile strains in the prototype's support beams after the load test.

The engineer measured the tensile strain in the steel beam to assess its deformation under load.

The miners narrowly escaped a strain burst that shattered the tunnel walls.

During the restoration, the carpenters carefully examined the straining beam for signs of rot.

The half-strained apprentice bungled most tasks, but he had a kind heart.

During the earthquake, we watched the straining beams groan as the old factory swayed.

She still manages to strain at a gnat, treating a tiny typo as if it were a catastrophe.

To prepare for worst-case scenarios, the national biosecurity agency ran drills to see how an Andromeda strain would be identified, isolated, and treated before it could spread.

The engineer compared strain rates across different materials to predict failure modes.

Engineers measured the strain rate to understand how quickly the metal deformed under load.
