Modulus of elasticity of A36 steel in psi

The Young Modulus of A36 steel is an experimentally derived value from stress and strain measurement. Strain can be measured using a strain gauge or a non-contact video extensometer. Force is applied to the A36 steel which will compress or elongate the sample. Various loads are applied to generate the stress and strain data of the A36 steel. The resulted data is plotted on the stress vs strain curve fitted with the linear regression line. Slope of this line is the Young Modulus.

Modulus of elasticity of A36 steel in psi is 29,000,000 psi.

A36 steel has a Poisson's ratio of 0.26, and a shear modulus of 10,900,000 psi. A36 steel in plates, bars, and shapes with a thickness of less than 8 in has a minimum yield strength of 36,000 psi and ultimate tensile strength of 58,000–80,000 psi.
