Traditional laser protection technology mainly relies on the thermophysical properties of materials, such as absorption, reflection and heat dissipation characteristics. However, these methods often have certain limitations, such as the inability to dynamically adjust when the laser intensity changes, or the inability to respond to rapidly changing heat loads in a timely manner, making it difficult to provide continuous and effective protection.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0041] Example
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, an active sensing laser protection composite material and a design method thereof include the following steps:
[0043] Step 1. Select a woven reinforced resin-based composite material. The structural forms include orthogonal three-way, 2.5D and fine-woven puncture. This composite material structure can effectively improve the mechanical strength and thermal stability, and is suitable for thermal protection requirements in high-intensity laser environments. The composite material has a built-in ceramic tube array and is connected to a single-chip microcomputer through a cooling medium storage pump.
[0044] Step 2: Embed a platinum resistance array temperature sensor in the composite material. The temperature sensor array is located inside the composite material at 5 mm from the surface. The temperature is sensed by resistance changes. The platinum resistance sensor can sense temperature changes by measuring resistance changes and feed back real-time temperature data to the control system to accurately monitor temperature changes on the surface of the composite material.
[0045] Through precise temperature sensing and distribution, the temperature sensor array can cover different areas of the composite material to monitor the temperature changes in the laser irradiation area in real time and provide accurate data support for subsequent cooling control.
[0046] Step 3: Use the temperature points sensed by the temperature sensor array and combine it with the independently written control algorithm based on physical information neural network to invert the temperature field, laser strike position and laser energy density in real time.
[0047] The control algorithm can calculate the thermal effect of the laser and the spatial distribution of the material temperature based on the laser irradiation conditions and the thermal response of the material, providing a decision-making basis for cooling control. The control algorithm improves the accuracy and efficiency of laser protection by continuously obtaining data feedback from the sensor array.
[0048] The training process of the control algorithm includes the following steps:
[0049] S1. Data preparation: input the temperature sensor array position, actual temperature data and geometric characteristics of the composite material, and define the training data set and test data set.
[0050] S2. Create a physical information neural network (PINN) model, which consists of multiple fully connected layers. The activation function of each fully connected layer uses the tanh activation function. The number of layers and neurons in each layer are hyperparameters. The input of the network (position x) is defined. The input x passes through multiple fully connected layers in sequence through forward propagation to the output layer. The output layer outputs temperature T, and there is no activation function.
[0051] S3. Define a physical information loss function based on the heat conduction equation;
[0052] The heat conduction equation satisfies the following formula:
[0053]
[0054] Among them, T pred is the temperature predicted by the model, t is the time, x is the position coordinate, and α is the thermal diffusion coefficient.
[0055] The formula for the physical information error term is as follows:
[0056]
[0057] The formula for the data error term is as follows:
[0058]
[0059] Among them, T sensor The temperature actually measured by the temperature sensor.
[0060] The formula of the physical information loss function is as follows:
[0061]
[0062] Among them, λ PDE and λ data is a hyperparameter that trades off the importance of the two error terms.
[0063] S4. Define the sensor loss function and calculate the error between the temperature output by the network and the actual temperature data of the temperature sensor array.
[0064] The formula for the sensor loss function is as follows:
[0065]
[0066] Where N is the number of temperature sensors, T pred,i is the temperature at the i-th temperature sensor location predicted by the model, T sensor,i is the actual temperature measured by the i-th temperature sensor.
[0067] S5. Define the sweating amount function to calculate the sweating amount, calculate the local temperature rise and laser heat flux based on the temperature field predicted by the physical information neural network model; calculate the required sweating amount based on the temperature increment and heat flux density.
[0068] Temperature increment T increase =T pred -T threshold , T threshold is the temperature threshold.
[0069] The formula of the sweating amount function is sweating amount = f (temperature increment, heat flux density).
[0070] In this embodiment, it is assumed that the heat flux is proportional to the absolute value of the temperature, and the heat flux is defined as: H = |T pred |, In practical applications, the heat flux density will depend on more complex physical models.
[0071] Therefore, in this embodiment, the formula of the sweat volume function is as follows:
[0072] Sweat volume = 0.1*T increase *H, while limiting the amount of sweating to between 0 and 1.
[0073] S6. Adjust the flow rate of the cooling medium in the ceramic tube array according to the sweating amount, input the calculated sweating amount into the ceramic tube array, control the flow rate of the cooling medium, adjust the sweating amount according to the real-time temperature, and ensure that the surface temperature is within a safe range.
[0074] S7, training and optimization, using the gradient descent method to optimize the physical information loss and sensor loss, and minimize the loss. In this embodiment, the Adam optimizer is used to use back propagation to update the weights of the neural network;
[0075] S8. After the training is completed, the trained model is used to predict the new temperature field and calculate the corresponding sweating amount, and the predicted temperature distribution and recommended sweating amount are output.
[0076] Step 4: Write the trained control algorithm into the single chip microcomputer, and use the single chip microcomputer to control the sweating amount of the ceramic tube array in the composite material in real time.
[0077] The control algorithm runs in real time in the single-chip microcomputer. The single-chip microcomputer stores the preset laser protection control strategy and adjusts the control parameters according to the real-time data to control the amount of sweating. The single-chip microcomputer is connected to the ceramic tube array in the composite material through the cooling medium storage pump. The control algorithm adjusts the flow of the cooling medium in real time and transports it to the surface of the composite material through the ceramic tube array to ensure that the surface temperature of the material is maintained within a safe range to avoid material damage or performance degradation due to overheating.
[0078] Step 5: Achieve sweat cooling through a silicon carbide ceramic tube array; select a suitable cooling medium.
[0079] Ceramic tube materials include high temperature resistant and high strength materials such as silicon carbide and alumina, which can operate stably in high temperature environments and maintain good thermal conductivity and thermal resistance. Ceramic tube arrays have good heat resistance and mechanical strength and can be used in high power laser protection processes.
[0080] The ceramic tube array achieves cooling through the conduction of liquid or gas cooling media. The cooling media include but are not limited to water, carbon dioxide, helium, nitrogen, etc. The choice of cooling media is adjusted according to different laser environments, composite material types and protection requirements, thereby effectively reducing the surface temperature of the material.
[0081] Step 6: Use the control algorithm to adjust the cooling effect according to the actual situation and control the amount of sweating to achieve laser protection.
[0082] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned active sensing laser protection composite material and its design method, which not only has significant advantages in improving the thermal protection performance of the composite material, but also its intelligent control method can adjust the cooling strategy in real time according to the actual laser radiation situation, ensuring continuous and effective protection effect in complex and dynamic laser environments, and has broad application prospects.
[0083] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify or replace the technical solution of the present invention with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
