Abstract

This paper describes the experimental model and the way of investigation of the strains and stresses state using strain gages technologies under mechanical and thermal loads. Numerical stresses values are highlighted and compared with experimental values; authors' conclusions regarding stresses comparisons are also presented. A small reference list with bibliographical material used in this paper is also included.
