Editorial by Sarojini Nadar, Fatima Seedat

“…Significant within the celebrations of the ruling, was little evidence of deep and thoughtful engagement with the tensions between provisions by the constitution of South Africa for cultural and religious freedom and women’s bodily autonomy. Moreover, the ruling brought up for introspection an interrogation of the ways in which femininity and masculinity are conceptualized within religious and cultural domains. …”

Research and Motion Analysis of Cutting Blade Mechanism of Copper Foil Shearing Machine by Ying Yueming

“…It is always a problem to improve the quality of copper foil shearing in PCB production.In order to research and develop copper foil shearing machine which has international competitiveness,taking the shearing mechanism of copper foil shearing machine designed by Rosenthal company in US as study object,the mechanism principle of shearing mechanism is descriped and the degree of freedom of mechanism is calculated.The motion analysis of shearing mechanism is carried out based on the methods of spatial mechanism kinematics and numerical calculation.Then,the analytic parameter formula of shearing mechanism cut point is deduced.The motion feature of shearing mechanism based on high speed and high cutting quality is proposed through the numerical experimentation and simulation experiment of shearing machine with 1500 copper foil breadth.The movement curve and controllable parameter which affects the performance of mechanism are obtained.The research contents can be taken as reference for the optimization of cutting blade mechanism design parameters.…”

旋转叶片异步振动参数辨识方法及试验验证 by 王茜, 雷晓波

“…Based on the principle of blade tip timing（ BTT） and the vibration principle of one degree of freedom,the parameter identification algorithm of rotating blade asynchronous vibration is established by using all phase FFT（ apFFT） and least square method.The algorithm is verified by numerical simulation,and the test parameter and empirical value of the rationality for sensor layout are given.The tests of asynchronous vibration parameter identification were launched on a fan rotor,while high pressure nitrogen was used to shock the blades to produce single frequency absolute occupancy vibration.Results show that the method for asynchronous vibration identification could accurately identify blade vibration parameters,and the vibration frequencies of all blades obtained are exactly the same.Frequency identification accuracy is high with the maximum relative error of 1.12% using strain analysis frequency as a baseline.Results verify that the method of asynchronous vibration parameter identification is correct.…”
