A36 steel Modulus of Elasticity, A36 steel Young's Modulus

A36 steel Modulus of Elasticity, A36 steel Young's Modulus

A36 steel Modulus of Elasticity, A36 steel Young's Modulus, Tensile Modulus – E, can be expressed as
E = stress / strain
E = Young's Modulus of Elasticity (N/m2, lb/in2, psi)

Elasticity is property of A36 steel indicating how it will restore it to its original shape after distortion. A36 steel Modulus of Elasticity, A36 steel Young's Modulus is 200 GPa (29,000 ksi). The A36 steel Poisson's Ratio is 0.26, and A36 steel Shear Modulus is 75 GPa (10,900 ksi).
