Which risk increases when a hydraulic actuator's load exceeds damping capacity?

A)Hydraulic pump cavitation erosion
B)Actuator rod buckling failure
C)Increased fluid bulk modulus
D)Decreased system thermal expansion

💡 Explanation

Actuator rod buckling failure risk increases because exceeding damping leads to rapid, uncontrolled movements beyond the stiffness limits, resulting in increased force causing buckling, therefore the rod breaks, rather than the pump cavitates due to fluid dynamics issues elsewhere.
