High precision stress–strain curves were determined from representative Type A Mylar sheets in several commercially available thicknesses. A representative value for Young's modulus was found to be 0.76 × 10 6 psi. Measured values were from 0.60 to nearly 0.78 × 10 6 psi with the maximum value occurring at 0.005‐in. thickness.
