I know that Young's modulus should increase when bone growth happens but can someone explain using the equation what is happening?
Here is my attempt:
Y = (F/A)/(delta l/l)
When we are building bone, the ability of the bone to generate restoring force should increase - F increases
delta l should also be positive
So are we saying that F increases more than delta l and so there is a new increase in Y
Also, another question - Is stress scalar or tensor? I have some across sources...
