← TechnologyWhich risk increases significantly when undamped fluid oscillations affect hydraulic actuator control?
A)Elevated component operational temperatures
B)Nonlinear valve spool displacement
C)Increased localized cavitation risk✓
D)Reduced accumulator bladder lifecycle
💡 Explanation
Cavitation risk increases because undamped oscillations create pressure intensification via the water hammer effect. Specifically, rapid valve closure causes a surge; therefore, the quickly reduced local pressure results in vapor bubble formation, rather than maintaining flow stability.
