A magnetomechanical transducer utilizing a single layered magnetostrictive member. A biasing means causes a strain in the magnetostrictive material which gives rise to compressive and tensile stresses in the member. The coefficient of magnetostriction increases or decreases in portions of the member depending on the nature of the stress in the portion. When the member is subjected to a magnetic field the member will deflect as a result of the changed coefficient of magnetostriction.
