How to find the Young's Modulus from a tensile test?
I conducted a tensile test on CR sheet. I got the load vs displacement data and converted into stress strain values in Excel. How to find the young's modules and poison ratio. somewhere I referred the equation of the tangent line on the stress strain plot is the young's modules. Does the equation of the tangent line as depicted in the attached pic is the young's modules. How to interpret the equation?
Thank You!

First we need to check for data upto elastic limit.

You should consider the tangent of the curve segment that is close to the 0 strain.

Slope 50 to 200 shows Modulus of Elasticity.
'Young's Modulus' or modulus of elasticity is a measurement of the rate of change of strain as a function of stress. It represents the slope of the straight-line portion of a stress-strain curve. With respect to tensile testing, it may be referred to as Tensile Modulus

You can find Young's modulus from linear region. In your case, you can find the slope(Young's modulus) from the marked region

Elastic modulus is an important parameter in structural analysis. This paper identifys the structural elastic modulus with measured displacements, which is an inverse problem. The improved genetic algorithm combined with multi-cases measurement is applied in the solution. Numerical examples have proved that the method is available.
