Subchondral insufficiency fracture of the femoral head (SIFFH) is characterized by acute onset hip pain without overt trauma. It appears as a low intensity band with bone marrow edema on T1-weighted MRI. The most common course of treatment is protected weight bearing for a period of several weeks. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been commonly used if the patient does not respond to the initial...

In this paper, we deal with the problem of optimizing the anisotropy distribution of a laminated structure in order to maximize, simultaneously, its stiffness and strength. For these two objectives, two functionals are considered: the compliance as a measure of the plate stiffness and a laminate-level failure index as a measure of the strength. To solve this optimization problem we used a two-s...
