Which outcome occurs when pressure transients exceed valve response time during emergency hydraulic actuator shutdown?

💡 Explanation

Pressures fluctuate rapidly because the control system's servo valves cannot react instantly, causing cavitation. Vapour bubbles collapse violently, pitting the valve surfaces, therefore cavitation damage increases, rather than causing water hammer or immediate lock-up.
