Received: 10 January 2011; in revised form: 10 February 2011 / Accepted: 14 February 2011 / Published: 2 March 2011 Abstract: Thick-film magnetoelastic sensors vibrate mechanically in response to a time varying magnetic excitation field. The mechanical vibrations of the magnetostrictive magnetoelastic material launch, in turn, a magnetic field by which the sensor can be monitored. Magnetic field telemetry enables contact-less, remote-query operation that has enabled many practical uses of the sensor platform. This paper builds upon a review paper we published in Sensors in 2002 (Grimes, C.A.; et al. Sensors 2002, 2, 294-313), presenting a comprehensive review on the theory, operating principles, instrumentation and key applications of magnetoelastic sensing technology. Keywords: magnetoelastic; sensor; magnetostrictive; coagulation; remote query; wireless 1. Introduction Magnetoelastic sensors are, generally, ribbon-like thick-film strips made from amorphous ferromagnetic alloys, such as Fe40Ni38Mo4B18 (Metglas 2826MB). Magnetoelastic sensors with a size of approximately 4 cm ×
