The article deals with the determination of measurement uncertainty of strain and stress using resistance strain gages. You can find two methods to define the uncertainty in the article, GUF and MMC, and both are applied for measurements carried out with resistance strain gages. Definition of the measurement uncertainty was set for the strain measured by uniaxial and biaxial strain gages. The uncertainty of the stress was defined for linear strain gages, T-rosettes and Rosettes. There were universal mathematic-technical models defined to measure strain and stress. These models can be used either for standard and special measurements i.e. high-temperature, or for measurements in radiation field. Each part of the strain and stress uncertainty is analysed from the point of view of a size and shape of probability function error that strain and stress can adopt. The maximum focus was dedicated to the errors influencing measured strain like strain gage properties, installation and operating influences, external influences, time effects and the influence of the measured object. There are two errors influencing the mechanical stress described and analysed in the thesis, the error of the Young’s modulus of elasticity and the error of the Poisson’s ratio.
