Which outcome occurs when a hydraulic actuator operating frequency nears the oil's natural frequency?

💡 Explanation

When excitation frequency nears a hydraulic system's natural frequency, resonance amplifies pressure oscillations, which causes cavitation because the pressure locally drops below vapor pressure, leading to implosion damage. Therefore cavitation damage increases, rather than bypassing, stiction, or thermal load which require different initiating conditions.
