← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a hydraulic actuator regulating turbine blade pitch experiences excessively rapid cycling?
A)Increased thermal fatigue cracking✓
B)Reduced bearing lubrication effectiveness
C)Lower fluid bulk modulus value
D)Elevated actuator seal degradation
💡 Explanation
Increased thermal fatigue cracking becomes a risk because rapid cycling causes **cyclic stress**, leading to localized heating and expansion; therefore cracks propagate, rather than uniform expansion, because stress concentrates at imperfections.
