Which mechanical degradation accelerates with rapid pulsed actuation?

💡 Explanation

Resonant amplification induces cumulative fatigue damage. When frequency matches the actuator's natural frequency, it creates larger amplitude oscillations because it is driven by the system's *mechanical resonance*, therefore accelerating fatigue; rather than other options.
