Heijmann, Frank (author), Tan, Y. (author), Rukanova, B.D. (author), Veenstra, Albert (author)The World Customs Organization (WCO) Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade (SAFE) introduced concepts of supply chain supervision and authorised operator schemes. While it has been implemented in many countries, supply chain supervision still requires further exploration and development. In this article we present a vision...journal article 2020

Tan, Xuyan (author), Chen, Weizhong (author), Wang, L. (author), Yang, Jianping (author)Shield tunneling is one of the most important technologies for building of underground engineering. Many grouting holes were prefabricated for the requirement of backfill grouting, which is easy to induce local damages and potential disasters, such as leakage and cracking. Accordingly, an integrated workflow for damage detection and stability...journal article 2020

Kumar, Siddhant (author), Tan, S. (author), Zheng, Li (author), Kochmann, Dennis M. (author)After a decade of periodic truss-, plate-, and shell-based architectures having dominated the design of metamaterials, we introduce the non-periodic class of spinodoid topologies. Inspired by natural self-assembly processes, spinodoid metamaterials are a close approximation of microstructures observed during spinodal phase separation. Their...journal article 2020
