Problem context and interpretation
BLNKK review of public information
Room-temperature measurements alone can miss high-temperature peaks, reversal temperature, and cooling hysteresis. Temperature points, ramp rates, thermal soak, sample support, and surface condition all affect the baseline.
Record the complete time–temperature–displacement history.
Use the same reference plane and constraints for measurement and simulation.
Separate measured observations from root-cause interpretation.
Key point: Look beyond a single room-temperature value
Do not compare only isolated values before and after at room temperature. To locate cooling-stage reversal, keep support and the reference plane consistent through heating, peak dwell, and cooling, and retain the complete time–temperature history.
BLNKK editorial notes
Key point: Locate the reversal temperature range, then separate variables with a model
Use measurement to locate the reversal temperature range, then model material viscoelasticity, copper distribution, and boundary effects separately. If the model disagrees, do not force a fit by adjusting material parameters first.
