Abstract

La présente invention a pour objet de détecter une contrainte générée dans un objet de mesure sans erreur par une configuration simple et de faible coût. L'invention concerne un capteur de contrainte (1) doté d'un substrat en film mince (2) amené à adhérer à un objet de mesure (10) ; d'une paire de pièces de transmission de contrainte (3A, 3B) disposées en face l'une de l'autre sur le substrat en film mince (2) par prise en sandwich d'un petit espace (G), et dont chacune est fixée au substrat en film mince (2) sur au moins une partie ; et une feuille de détection (4) amené à adhérer à la paire de pièces de transmission de contrainte (3A, 3B) et comportant, à une position correspondant à l'espace (G), des sections de pont (4a, 4b) dont une surface, en coupe transversale, est plus petite que celle de la feuille, à une position dans laquelle elle adhère sur les pièces de transmission de contrainte (3A, 3B). Une pièce de transmission de contrainte (3A) des pièces de transmission présente une contrainte de gauchissement dans une direction devant être séparée du substrat en film mince (2).
