← TechnologyWhich instability arises in aerospace hydraulic systems when a servovalve rapidly shifts position?
A)Flow saturation causing actuator delay
B)Pressure overshoot causing structural stress✓
C)Reverse flow causing pump cavitation
D)Piston lock causing valve failure
💡 Explanation
When a servovalve rapidly shifts, the fluid inertia results in pressure surges due to the hydraulic fluid's incompressibility, leading to a pressure overshoot that can overstress components. Therefore, pressure overshoot and structural stresses result, compared to the alternative mechanisms because rapid actuation is occurring.
