Young's modulus

Body
was changed:
The Young's modulus is a relationship between elasticity, strain, and stress.:
- elasticity x (change in length / original length) = (force / area)
put another way, this is
- elasticity x (strain) = stress
or
- elasticity = stress / strain
The units of elasticity are in kPa.
This relationship is fundamental to strain elastography and shear wave elastography.
