For this, we proposed to study the second-generation biomimetic prosthesis &quot;the M6-C prosthesis&quot; 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©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</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue></record></records></xml>
