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
