← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when undissolved gas transitions into cavitation when pressure falls in a hydraulic actuator?
A)Increased actuator response time✓
B)Higher actuator output force
C)Reduced material stress concentration
D)Elevated fluid bulk modulus
💡 Explanation
Reduced pressure induces cavitation that leads to the formation of vapor bubbles, which then expand and collapse randomly; because this two-phase state reduces the oil stiffness, it introduces compressibility and slows response, therefore lower actuator response time results, rather than a higher actuation force.
