Peritoneal drainage does not stabilize extremely low birth weight infants with perforated bowel: data from the NET Trial KU Leuven
INTRODUCTION: Proponents of peritoneal drainage (PD) hypothesize that it allows stabilization before laparotomy. We examined this hypothesis by comparing clinical status before and after either PD or primary laparotomy (LAP). METHODS: In an ethically approved, international, prospective randomized controlled trial (2002-2006), extremely low birth weight (<1000 g) infants with pneumoperitoneum received primary PD (n = 35) or LAP (n = 34). ...

In-line NDT with X-Ray CT combining sample rotation and translation KU Leuven Ghent University University of Antwerp
© 2016 Elsevier Ltd An alternative acquisition geometry for X-ray computed tomography (CT) is investigated as a solution to in-line non-destructive quality inspection in a high throughput production environment. The sample movement during acquisition combines a translation, typically horizontal, along one axis and a rotation about a second axis perpendicular to the first, and is shown to produce theoretically exact CT reconstructions. A ...
The contribution of elastic wave NDT to the characterization of modern cementitious media Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University
To mitigate autogenous shrinkage in cementitious materials and simultaneously preserve the material’s mechanical performance, superabsorbent polymers and nanosilica are included in the mixture design. The use of the specific additives influences both the hydration process and the hardened microstructure, while autogenous healing of cracks can be stimulated. These three stages are monitored by means of non-destructive testing, showing the ...
Assessment of eSHM system combining different NDT methods Vrije Universiteit Brussel
A new concept of structural health monitoring, the effective Structural Health Monitoring (eSHM) system, has the potential to improve life safety and decrease the direct operational cost. The basic physical principle of the eSHM system is checking the absolute fluid pressure changes in a 3D-curved network of capillaries that are integrated with 3D printing. A pressure change in the capillary indicates the presence of a crack. The main objective ...
Evaluation of SHM System Produced by Additive Manufacturing via Acoustic Emission and Other NDT Methods Vrije Universiteit Brussel
During the last decades, structural health monitoring (SHM) systems are used in order to detect damage in structures. We have developed a novel structural health monitoring approach, the so-called “effective structural health monitoring” (eSHM) system. The current SHM system is incorporated into a metallic structure by means of additive manufacturing (AM) and has the possibility to advance life safety and reduce direct operative costs. It ...
