Abstract

A sealing joint comprises, compressed between two parts, a stack of flexible strips separated by offset supports (9); an envelop (1) surrounds this structure (7) and ensures its sealing. Under compression, the strips distort around the supports becoming very stiff for little distortion. Thus, we can rightly be wary of the consequences regarding the relief of strain on the material, notably at high temperatures.
