Hi Dr_L_
welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.
Re: 10th gen iPad turns off unexpectedly- how to fix?
We have very little info about your iPad, (and it's use) to go on, so there could be any one of several possible causes in operation.
Eg:
Wondering if you are using Low Power Mode, if so, you might want to try turning it off during intensive tasks:
Use Low Power Mode to save battery life on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If you haven't already, you might want to update to the newest iPad OS:
About iPadOS 16 Updates - Apple Support says iPadOS 16.5 is the latest.
or
Sometimes simply restarting an iPad can restore order if something is not working right.

You might want to check your Ipad has plenty of memory / storage space free for the iPad's OS to work smoothly. ie: How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
If needed: See: "Manage space on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" in the article below:
If you need more space for an update on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If you use third-party (non-Apple) apps they would need to be kept up-to-date to remain compatible with your iPad's OS.
Some apps, like add-blockers, virus checkers, cleaners, and the like can also cause interference. Even VPN etc., can be troublesome.
Eg: Try turning them off, or use the uninstaller from the developer, if found to be troublesome.

More support, if needed:
You might want to reach out to iPad Support:
There is a "Get Support" link (online chat, phone, eMail etc., or an app you can download and use)
at the bottom of their webpage (link below)
All the best :-)
