Possibilities of Measuring Stress and Health Monitoring in Materials Using Contact-Less Sensor Based on Magnetic Microwires

Abstract

This paper deals with the possibilities of contactless stress measuring inside a material. Conventional strain gauge measuring methods cover surface stress measuring, however measuring inside in material is widely limited. Magnetic microwires give us the ability to create a build-in sensor inside the material without its structure violation. Moreover, sensor can measure several parameters simultaneously, what makes this technology very interesting for many applications.
