The invention provides a strain gauge which includes a fabric base and at
least one conductive yarn. In addition, the fabric base is weaved with a
plurality of non-conductive yarns, and the fabric base thereon defines a
sensing direction. Moreover, each of the conductive yarn is gimped by a
textile process with one of the non-conductive yarns and is woven through
the fabric base along the sensing direction. Furthermore, the at least
one conductive yarn is capable of being applied by an electric power;
when an external force acts on the fabric base, the geometrical property
of the at least one conductive yarn alters so that a change of an
electric property associated with the applied electric power is sensed to
indicate an elongation of said strain gauge applied by the external force
along the sensing direction.
