Abstract
The present invention relates to a MEMS deformation sensor for measuring a relative movement between two regions of a structure, the sensor comprising: —a first portion () and a second portion () that are movable with respect to one another along a direction of measurement (X); —a thrust element () mounted fixed with respect to the first portion; —a first electrode (A) and a second electrode (B) that are capable of being raised to different electrical potentials, each mounted fixed with respect to the second portion; —a connecting portion (I) forming an electrical link between the first electrode and the second electrode, the thrust element applying a load to the connecting portion when the first portion moves with respect to the second portion along the direction of measurement beyond a predetermined distance, the electrical link being broken under the effect of the load.
