We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

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:
