Which consequence results when rapid valve closure causes fluid vaporization in hydraulic actuators?

💡 Explanation

Rapid valve closure causes collapsing vapor cavities due to inertial pressure drop; this process is violent cavitation. The implosions erode surfaces because the released energy causes localized pitting, therefore cavitation pitting rather than resonance; this differs from simple actuator oscillation.
