  • Systems and methods for wireless strain sensing
    Patent number: 11169038
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for determining strain within a material includes a magnetostrictive sensor configured to be embedded within the material, a sensing unit configured to apply an excitation magnetic field to the material and the embedded sensor and to receive a response magnetic field that has passed through the material and the embedded sensor, wherein the sensing unit does not contact the material, and a device configured to determine a difference between the excitation magnetic field and the response magnetic field and to determine the strain within the material based upon that difference.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 20, 2020
    Date of Patent: November 9, 2021
    Assignee: Board of Regents, The University of Texas
