Development of experimental method for measuring shear strain in propellant at case-bond is described; new low-modulus d-c semiconductor shear-strain transducer (gage) is described; it has been used to measure case-bond shear strains in inert loaded rocket motors subjected to axial and transverse accelerations up to nearly 50 g; results are in good agreement with theoretical analysis of relatively simple grain design; proposed use of transducer in live-propellant rocket motors is outlined.
