We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Hello Indu,

Yes, you are correct. The average deformation does not represent the ΔL value. You can test this on a simple bar fixed at one end and being pulled on other end and compare it with analytical result.  ΔL is given by maximum deformation. For more information on deformation, please refer to this help link:

Nanda.
