Brake Fluid Quality and Brake Performance

The condition of brake fluid is important to automotive safety, reliability and brake system longevity. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time. Increasing moisture levels in the brake fluid lower the boiling point, increase viscosity and cause corrosion of system components. Brake fluid with high moisture content can boil when extreme braking is required or a pad sticks. The effect of boiling i...

Active Brake Judder Compensation Using an Electro-Hydraulic Brake System

Geometric imperfections on brake rotor surface are well-known for causing periodic variations in brake torque during braking. This leads to brake judder, where vibrations are felt in the brake pedal, vehicle floor and/or steering wheel. Existing solutions to address judder often involve multiple phases of component design, extensive testing and improvement of manufacturing procedures, leading t...

Evaluation the Anti-Diabetic Activity of Cherry Laurel (Laurocerasus officinalis)

Purpose: Cherry laurel has been used as an anti-diabetic drug. In this study, we aimed to evaluate its antidiabetic activity at standard living conditions and under stress by an experimental study. Material and Method: Forty Wistar-Albino rats weighing 300–350 grams were used in this study. Four groups were structured: control, diabetic, glibenclamide and cherry laurel extract. Streptozotocin (...
