\section{Results}  Z component maps of the displacements over time are illustrated in Figure \ref{Figure4}, respectively 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 ms after current emission, as given by the simulation (A), experiment in the PVA phantom (B) and experiment in the chicken breast sample (C). Initial displacements occurs where the Lorentz force has the highest magnitude, on the opposite side of the ultrasound probe, so displacement is not due to probe vibration. Displacements reached an amplitude of 5 $\mu$m in the phantom and 0.5 $\mu$m in the chicken sample. Displacement maps were harder to compute in the chicken breast sample, as electrical conductivity was lower and as speckle was of poorer quality.  They propagated as shear waves, whose speed was 4.0 m.s$^{-1}$ for the simulation, 4.0$\pm$1.0 m.s$^{-1}$ for the PVA phantom and 6.5$\pm$1.5 m.s$^{-1}$ for the chicken breast sample  along Z axis. Displacement maps were harder It corresponds  to compute in a respective Young's modulus of 48$\pm$12 kPa for  the chicken breast sample, as electrical conductivity was lower PVA phantom  and as speckle was of poorer quality. 127$\pm$39 kPa for the chicken sample.
