Description: A magnetoelastic sensor is a device that measures mechanical stress in materials using the magnetoelastic effect. This effect is based on the variation of the magnetic properties of a material when subjected to mechanical stresses. Magnetoelastic sensors are highly sensitive and can detect changes in the magnetic field, allowing them to measure deformations with great precision. Their design typically includes a magnetoelastic material that, when stretched or compressed, alters its magnetization. This property translates into an electrical signal that can be processed and analyzed. Magnetoelastic sensors are compact, lightweight, and can be easily integrated into various monitoring systems, making them ideal for applications in the Internet of Things (IoT). Their ability to operate in harsh conditions and their resistance to electromagnetic interference make them an attractive option for a wide range of industries, such as automotive, construction, and manufacturing, where monitoring structural health is crucial.
