# Industrial Specification: Boom Structure

## 1. Technical Definition
The main structural framework of a ship unloader's boom that provides support and reach for material handling operations.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **15-45 meters reach, 25-75 metric tons load capacity**. Failure boundary: **Yield stress exceeding 355 MPa (S355 structural steel) or deflection exceeding L/250 where L is boom length**, Mechanism: **Buckling instability under compressive loads exceeding Euler critical load P_cr = π²EI/(KL)², where E=210 GPa (steel modulus), I=section moment of inertia, K=effective length factor, L=unsupported length**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Frame Structural Deflection Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\delta = \frac{5 q L^4}{384 E I}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Ensures structural stability for multi-stage machines.
