Most brake fluid will absorb moisture, which reduces its braking performance. A check is quick, but will need a specialist tester that measures the electrical conductivity of the fluid to ...

There was no damage, and no one was injured. So why does this happen? Simple brake fluid goes bad. Here’s what you need to ...

For the drum brakes to function correctly, the brake shoes must remain close to the drum without touching it. As the shoes wear down, they can get too far away from the drum and the piston will ...

The pedal pushes a piston through this cylinder, forcing brake fluid through brake lines to slave cylinders at each wheel, which in turn drive the pistons that force friction material against the ...

Humping defects in high-speed laser welding of stainless steel are investigated here using in situ synchrotron X-ray imaging and fluid dynamics simulations. High welding speeds cause a short ...
