# Industrial Specification: Piston/Rod Assembly

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical assembly consisting of a piston and connecting rod that converts linear motion within an actuator.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-300 bar hydraulic pressure, -40°C to 150°C temperature, 0-20 m/s linear velocity**. Failure boundary: **Hydraulic pressure exceeding 350 bar causes permanent piston deformation, temperature exceeding 200°C degrades seal integrity, velocity exceeding 25 m/s induces rod buckling**, Mechanism: **Yield strength failure of piston material (typically 250-400 MPa for aluminum alloys) under cyclic pressure loading, thermal expansion mismatch between piston (aluminum, α≈23×10⁻⁶/°C) and cylinder (steel, α≈12×10⁻⁶/°C) causing binding, Euler buckling of connecting rod at critical load P_cr=π²EI/L²**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Thin-Wall Pressure Vessel Stress Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\sigma_h = \frac{P \cdot D}{2t}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Determines the hoop stress boundary to prevent rupture.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
