Do you have any ideas on that, or recommend any project about this?
Yeah ofc wafa but if bends are in millimeters you can use contraint jauge
Can you explain more plz
So contraint jauge is ofen used in Electronic Scale it detect the deformation when wheight applyed on it
Here's someone asked the same problematic like yours

Collect deformation value via strain gauge with HX711
Hello. I am now working on my project on studying how each plastic injection parameter affercts the mold deflection. I decided to use a strain gauges to collect the deformation that occurs while injecting the workpiece. I applied my strain gauge to HX711 module and serial monitor via arduino UNO to see the value. But there is one thing I concern...
Hi @aymen ammari , I'd be interested in learning about constraint gauges and how they might be better suited for detecting millimeter-scale bends.
