Abstract A need exists for a birefringent material having phenomenological characteristics similar to solid propellants, which can be used in photoelastic studies for grain design of rocket engines. Comparisons of the isoclinics and the isochromatics in several segmentally cast specimens and continuous cast specimens of various geometries and loading conditions were made. Some of the specimens contained oriented or random inclusions. The investigations indicated that tolylene di-isocyanate polyurethane would be a satisfactory and a useful photoelastic material for grain-design applications.
