The Graph depicts Stress Vs Strain Curve, with data points from the lab results.since taken from digitizer we now need to clean the data received.
The data received is of True stress & True Strain, so to convert
- strain is to be divided by 100
- Stress is converted from KSI to Pascal (multiply by 6.895e+6)
- The Unit followed is kg/mm/ms
- By converting above data we get,

- As given. the elastic modulus is 20.9E+06 psi.
- Converting psi to pascal we get, 1.4410E+11 pa
- Multiplied with 10^-9 to change it into Kg, mm, ms = 144.1
- Youngs modulus = 144.1
Mat_24 accepts the data of plastic area.The elastic region contains data of density, Young's modulus and poissons ratio. The plastic data is needed, so neglecting the elastic data from the yield point.
Elastic Strain = True Stress / Elastic Modulus
Total true Strain = Platic Strain - Recoverable strain
Effective Plastic Strain = Total True Strain - Total True Stress/E
