# Industrial Specification: Auger System

## 1. Technical Definition
Material distribution system that spreads asphalt mix evenly across the paving width

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-3.0 m/s linear velocity, 15-45 RPM rotational speed, 0.2-0.8 MPa hydraulic pressure**. Failure boundary: **Shear stress exceeding 25 MPa at auger flight-to-shaft weld interface, bearing temperature exceeding 120°C, material flow rate dropping below 85% of design capacity**, Mechanism: **Fatigue failure at stress concentration points due to cyclic loading from asphalt mix resistance (τ_max &gt; τ_yield), abrasive wear from aggregate particles (Mohs hardness 6-7), thermal expansion mismatch between steel components (α_steel=12×10⁻⁶/°C) and operating temperatures of 150-180°C**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **L10 Bearing Life & Fatigue Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $L_{10} = (\frac{C}{P})^p$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Predicts mechanical lifecycle before component fatigue.
