# Industrial Specification: Bridge Beam (X-axis)

## 1. Technical Definition
The primary horizontal structural member of a bridge or gantry machine that provides support and guidance along the X-axis direction.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-150 kN/m bending moment, -20°C to +80°C temperature**. Failure boundary: **Yield stress of 355 MPa for S355 structural steel, Euler buckling load of 2.1 MN for 300mm×600mm cross-section**, Mechanism: **Plastic deformation exceeding yield point under combined bending and axial loading, governed by von Mises yield criterion: σ_vm = √(σ_x² + 3τ_xy²) ≥ σ_y**.

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

> **Primary Equation**: $\delta = \frac{5 q L^4}{384 E I}$
