Abstract :
In this paper, two metamaterial-based strain sensors at terahertz frequencies are introduced and simulated using CST Microwave Studio. They exhibit a large shift in the resonance frequency upon stretching or compression. They are very well suitable to monitoring and detecting mechanical deformation of a target structure remotely.
