Which risk increases when a hydraulic actuator on an aircraft landing gear experiences rapid, repeated cycling?

💡 Explanation

Repeated cycling introduces stress concentrations at the piston rod threads, promoting fatigue sooner than intended. Fretting corrosion accelerates crack initiation because the cyclic loading causes microscopic movements, therefore leading to cracking rather than wear issues in other landing gear parts.
