Comparison of Elastic Moduli Polymers: Tangent and Secant Modulus

• Tangent Modulus is experienced in service.
• Secant Modulus is effective modulus at 2% strain.

- grey cast iron is also an example
• Modulus of polymer changes with time and strain-rate.
- must report strain-rate dε/dt for polymers.
- must report fracture strain εf before fracture.
