Thermal Stress and Temperature Analysis of Integrated Protection-Thermal Control Multilayer Films Under Laser Irradiation in Alternating High and Low Temperatures
Abstract
With the rapid advancement of space-based laser weapon technologies, on-orbit safety of spacecraft such as satellites is confronted with severe laser threats. To meet the demands for film system optimization and reliability improvement of thin films integrating space laser protection and thermal control functions, this study takes the Graphene/Ag/Al2O3/SiO2/ITO multilayer thin film structure as the research object. Combined with the space alternating high-low temperature environment and the action of ultra-high-density transient directional heat flux, systematic simulation research on the evolution laws of temperature and stress fields inside the multilayer thin films under laser irradiation in alternating space high-low temperature environments is carried out via COMSOL Multiphysics, and the influencing mechanisms of ambient temperature and laser operating parameters on thermal stress and temperature distribution are revealed. The simulation results demonstrate that the thin film structure reaches thermal equilibrium within several seconds under a given transient directional heat flux. As laser power rises, the peak temperature of each layer increases nonlinearly and the time required to reach thermal equilibrium shortens. The laser heat flux density acts as the dominant factor governing the temperature and thermal stress distribution. Under alternating space high-low temperature conditions, the thermal stress of the thin film varies approximately linearly with temperature…
