Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of quantitative detection of explosive capacity of energetic materials, and relates to a new method for detecting explosive capacity of energetic materials based on a small amount of gaseous products. Specifically, it relates to a method for obtaining the explosive capacity of energetic materials based on a small amount of gaseous products and using time-correlated laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy combined with a high-speed schlieren system. Background Technology

[0002] The explosive capacity of explosives is one of the key parameters for measuring their energy release efficiency and explosive performance. Traditional explosive capacity testing methods typically require gram-level explosives and complex procedures involving specialized instruments under harsh conditions. Furthermore, for the testing of the explosive capacity of novel explosives, which are mainly synthesized in laboratories, production volumes are small and safety cannot be guaranteed. Achieving safe and rapid explosive capacity measurement based on traditional testing methods has always been a challenge. Developing new explosive capacity measurement methods based on advanced technologies, and establishing and improving diversified, safe, rapid, accurate, and quantitative analysis methods applicable to the explosive capacity of explosives, are crucial for the research and development of new explosives, the improvement of the performance of existing explosives, and safe production. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a novel method for obtaining the explosive capacity of energetic materials based on minute amounts of gaseous products, and a burst capacity testing system combining time-correlated laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (TLS) with high-speed schlieren imaging. The plasma spectrum of minute amounts of gaseous products at a specific time is obtained by combining TLS with a high-speed schlieren imaging system. A high-precision quantitative analysis model of the gaseous product spectral data and the macroscopic burst capacity of the energetic material is established using principal component analysis-partial least squares (PCA-PLS) combined with a small-sample modeling algorithm.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A method for detecting the explosion capacity of energetic materials based on small amounts of gaseous products, the method mainly includes the following steps:

[0006] (1) Select t energetic material samples with known explosion capacity parameters as calibration samples. Place 10mg-15mg energetic material samples into a closed experimental chamber. To ensure the stability of the experimental environment, compressed air is introduced into the experimental chamber by air exhaust method. The chamber is kept at a pressure 10kPa higher than 1 standard atmosphere to avoid the entry of external environmental gases affecting the experiment.

[0007] (2) A pulsed laser focused by a plano-convex lens is applied to the surface of the energetic material sample as an excitation laser to induce the energetic material to produce gaseous products. The energy of the excitation laser is 430 mJ. The dynamic process of the gaseous products is obtained by a high-speed schlieren system to determine the spatial position and time of the gaseous products. Another pulsed laser focused by a plano-convex lens is used as a probe laser to obtain the plasma spectrum of the gaseous products. The energy of the probe laser is 110 mJ. Each sample is tested n times and the plasma spectrum is collected n times.

[0008] Optionally, t≥8; the time for introducing compressed air into the 300ml experimental chamber is ≥30s, and the flow rate is 5L / min.

[0009] Optionally, the spatial position of the gaseous product is 14 mm away from the sample surface, 210 μs after laser loading of the sample; n ≥ 3.

[0010] (3) Set the spectral intensity range to in σ represents the average spectral intensity, and σ represents the standard deviation of the spectral intensity. Each spectrum whose average intensity falls within a defined range is considered a valid spectrum. The sample size is expanded using a small-sample augmentation algorithm. This method treats each valid gaseous product spectrum as a sample and uses a window-shifting smoothing method to subtract the spectral background signal. The main operational steps are as follows:

[0011] Select window size: Determine an appropriate window size that will be used for smoothing; the size needs to be selected based on the characteristics of the spectral data.

[0012] Initialize window position: Place the window at the beginning of the spectral data sequence;

[0013] Calculate the minimum value within the window: Calculate the minimum value of all data points within the window;

[0014] Replace original data points: Replace the values ​​of the original data points in the window with the calculated minimum value;

[0015] Window sliding: Slide the window along the data sequence by one unit and recalculate the minimum value of all data points within the window;

[0016] Repeat the calculation and replacement: Continue sliding the window and repeat the above calculation and replacement steps until the entire spectral data sequence is covered;

[0017] Polynomial fitting: The minimum value obtained in each window is subjected to polynomial fitting to obtain the entire spectral background.

[0018] Finally, the characteristic spectral line of each channel is divided by the integrated intensity of the background signal of the corresponding channel, and the spectrum is normalized using the channel-specific normalization method.

[0019] (4) The sample dataset was randomly divided into training and test sets. Preprocessed and standardized gas product spectra were used as input data. A quantitative analysis model of explosion capacity was established using the PCA-PLS method. The number of principal components in the modeling process was determined through five-fold cross-validation, and the coefficient of determination R was used to determine the modeling parameters. 2 The maximum relative error (MRE), average relative error (ARE), and root mean square error (RMSE) were used to evaluate the quantitative analysis model of burst capacity.

[0020] (5) For energetic material samples with unknown explosion capacity parameters, the gas product spectra at multiple optimized spatial locations and times are obtained using a time-correlated laser-induced spectroscopy system. After the spectral screening and preprocessing in step (3), the spectra are input into the explosion capacity quantitative model to obtain the explosion capacity parameters of the unknown sample.

[0021] It should be noted that this invention acquires the spatial location and time of gaseous products using a high-speed schlieren imaging system, and obtains the plasma spectrum of gaseous products at a specific moment using time-correlated laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. A high-precision quantitative analysis model of the gaseous product spectral data and the macroscopic burst capacity of energetic materials is established using principal component analysis-partial least squares (PCA-PLS) combined with a small-sample modeling algorithm.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] This invention utilizes laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy to obtain the plasma spectrum of gaseous products at a specific moment. The corresponding characteristic spectra in the plasma spectrum can reflect the amount of different components in the gaseous products, providing a theoretical basis for determining the explosive capacity of energetic materials. This invention also utilizes principal component analysis-partial least squares (PCA-PLS) to extract key information related to explosive capacity from complex spectral data, establishing a high-precision quantitative analysis model of explosive capacity and gaseous product spectra. Specifically, it provides a novel, rapid, and safe method for quantitative analysis of the explosive capacity of energetic materials based on minute amounts of gaseous products.

[0041] (1) Place 10mg-15mg of energetic material sample into a closed experimental chamber. To ensure the stability of the experimental environment, compressed air is introduced into the experimental chamber for 30s by air exhaust method, with a flow rate of 5L / min. The chamber is kept at a pressure 10kPa higher than 1 standard atmosphere to avoid the entry of external environmental gases affecting the experiment.

[0042] (2) The testing system used is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a pulsed laser beam focused by a plano-convex lens is applied to the surface of an energetic material sample as the excitation laser, inducing the generation of gaseous products. The energy of the excitation laser is 430 mJ. A high-speed camera is set to 200,000 frames / second, and the kinetics of the gaseous products are acquired using a high-speed schlieren image system (Xinyu Zhang, An Li, Ruibin Liu, et al. "Volume of detonation determination based on gaseous products of energetic materials by time resolved LIPS combined with schlieren image," Opt. Express 32, 24877-24888 (2024)) to determine the spatial location and time of the gaseous products. Figure 3As shown, the gaseous product located 14 mm from the sample surface at 210 μs was selected as the representative gaseous product. A separate pulsed laser, focused by a plano-convex lens, was used as the probe laser to acquire the plasma spectrum of the gaseous product; the probe laser energy was 110 mJ. Each sample was tested three times, and three plasma spectra were collected.

[0043] (3) Set the spectral intensity range to in σ represents the average spectral intensity, and σ represents the standard deviation of the spectral intensity. Spectra with average intensities within a defined range are considered valid spectra. Figure 4 As shown. Then, the sample size was expanded using a small-sample augmentation algorithm. This method treats each valid gaseous product spectrum as a sample, resulting in 16 samples with true values ​​for the explosion capacity parameter.

[0050] Polynomial fitting: The minimum value obtained in each window is subjected to polynomial fitting to obtain the entire spectral background.

[0051] Finally, the characteristic spectral line of each channel is divided by the integrated intensity of the background signal of the corresponding channel, and the spectrum is normalized using the channel-specific normalization method.

[0052] (4) The sample dataset is randomly divided into training and test sets. Preprocessed and standardized gas product spectra are used as input data, and a quantitative analysis model for explosion capacity is established using the PCA-PLS method, such as...
