How does state security limit the right to protest? State response to popular participation in South Africa

In South Africa, the right to protest has come under threat from the state. Increasing cases of forceful policing and, at times, unlawful procedural prohibitions of protest attest to this. Interviews with members of different community-based organisations across South Africa show that protest is sometimes delegitimised under the guise of security as protestors are constructed as threats to the state. The larger implication of this treatment is that these protestors are treated as non-citizens who are excluded from participating in governance. This study aims to describe this situation through securitisation theory, arguing that South Africa has become a securitised state. It therefore looks at the implications of this securitised response for popular participation in South Africa.     

新型叶片式磁流变阻尼器结构设计

以传统叶片式减振器为基础,设计了具有"失效安全"特性的新型叶片式磁流变减振器。首先基于平板模型和B ingham模型推导了磁流变减振器力矩数学模型,然后分析了初始阻尼力不变情况下的阻尼力可调倍数影响因素,最后应用有限元分析软件ANSOFT对所设计的磁路进行仿真,分析了磁场分布。理论分析及仿真结果表明,叶片式磁流变减振器的阻尼力可调范围能满足重型车辆半主动悬挂系统的需要。     

钢筋混凝土构件中钢筋温度数值计算方法讨论

采用有限元法计算构件截面温度时认为构件材料全部是混凝土,忽略了占截面积比率很小的钢筋,然后以钢筋所在位置的混凝土温度代替为钢筋的温度。人们对这种算法存在的误差大小并不清楚。对400mm×400mm矩形截面钢筋混凝土柱在四面受火条件下的温度场进行了计算,对比了考虑截面上存在钢筋时构件的温度场与不考虑钢筋而认为材料全部是混凝土时构件的温度场。研究发现,当考虑截面上存在钢筋时所得钢筋温度与采用简化方法所得替代温度差别不大,对构件承载力影响很小,说明这种简化的温度场计算方法安全可靠。
