Development Of A Vibration And Temperature Measurement Device For Railroad Bearings, Andrea P. Arguelles
Development Of A Vibration And Temperature Measurement Device For Railroad Bearings, Andrea P. Arguelles
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
Bearing related derailments cause very high cost and inconvenience to the railroad industry. Various wayside detection systems have been implemented to assess bearing condition and prevent premature failure. However, current devices fail to determine the internal condition of bearings or provide insight regarding the danger and severity of defects and abnormalities that may be present. To this end, a device combining both temperature and vibration detection was designed to be embedded in railroad bearing adapters. In order to efficiently design a railroad bearing condition-monitoring system, two factors that must be considered are the capabilities available to operate the different sensors …

Evaluation Of Security Availability Of Data Components For A Renewable Energy Micro Smart Grid System, Leonel Aguilera Zambrano
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
In this thesis, we study the development and security testing of photovoltaic data collection system. With the introduction of the smart grid concept, a lot of research has been done on the communication aspect of energy production and distribution throughout the power network. For Smart Grid, Internet is used as the communication medium for specific required services and for data collection. Despite all the advantages of the Smart Grid infrastructure, there is also some security concern regarding the vulnerabilities associated with internet access. In this thesis, we consider security testing of the two most popular and globally deployed web server …
