Abstract: Bending angle sensors, and methods for manufacturing such bending angle sensors, are provided herein to reduce cost and time to manufacture. Exemplary sensors can include a fabric or other material layer disposed on a surface of a first material layer that contains a sensing element. By using a fabric or other material layer that has stiffness greater than the first material layer, the neutral shear axis of the first material layer can be shifted away from the central longitudinal axis of the first material layer. By shifting the neutral shear axis to one side of the first material layer, the sensor can be manufactured with larger less expensive sensing elements. Alternatively, or additionally, the sensing element can be embedded within the membrane with less precision by eliminating the requirement that the sensing element must be disposed on one side of the central longitudinal axis of the first material layer.
