Which outcome results when excessive dither is applied to a digitally controlled pneumatic actuator?

💡 Explanation

Excessive dither excites resonant frequencies, causing amplified pressure oscillations because it repeatedly perturbs the actuator near its natural oscillatory modes, therefore inducing instability in the system, rather than reducing thermal stress or stiction.
