Best Answer

The tangent modulus of steel varies depending on if the steel has yielded.

If the steel has not yielded, and is still elastic (stresses less than approx. 275 MPa (39885 Psi) the tangent modulus will be equal to the Young's Modulus, 205 GPa (39885367)


If the steel has yielded, the tangent modulus will be related by the Ramsberg-Osgood Equation, but a reasonable value to use would be approx. 1.5 GPa (2175565 Psi)
