← TechnologyWhich risk increases in a hydraulic actuator when rapid control valve oscillations induce pressure wave interference?
A)Resonance induced structural fatigue✓
B)Increased fluid bulk modulus
C)Decreased actuator thermal expansion
D)Enhanced control system damping
💡 Explanation
Resonance induced structural fatigue is the risk, caused by pressure wave interference. Rapid valve oscillations create standing waves; the **hydraulic resonance** amplifies stresses because the sustained cyclical load exceeds material fatigue limits, rather than affecting fluid properties downstream.
