	abstract = {In this work we present a new biomimetic disc prosthesis imitating the fibroreinforced osmotic, and viscoelastic properties of the biological intervertebral disc (BID). For this, we proposed to study the second-generation biomimetic prosthesis "the M6-C prosthesis" which contains two metal plates, a core and a fiber fabric. First, a 3D model was established, the finite element analysis (FEA) under the ANSYS{\textcopyright}2015 was conducted. Secondly, a biomimetic material, the silicone rubber, was compared with the polyethylene to find the material that mimics the behavior of a biological disk. Finally, the analysis of the results found the polymer has the same mechanical properties as the nucleus pulposus, in particular the viscoelastic behaviour compared with that of polyethylene},
