ABSTRACT:
A strain sensor for detecting strain in automobiles, robots, and the like includes a magnetostrictive layer. The magnetostrictive layer is formed by irradiating an alloy layer with a high energy density beam (such as a laser) to form a magnetostrictive layer having an amorphous structure. The resulting magnetostrictive layer has a magnetic inductance in the direction of irradiation that is much higher than in a perpendicular direction thereof. Using such a sensor, it is possible to selectively detect components of stresses and strains in a given direction.
