Its peculiarmicrostructure and biphasic composition define byan oriented fibre network embedded in a highlyhydrated matrix (60−70%) is usually assimilated toporous composite material. It confers to AF a nonlinear,viscous and anisotropic behaviour.Many experimental and numerical studiesunderlined the anisotropic and non-linearmechanical behaviours on averaged values[Ambard and Cherblanc, 2009; Malandrino et al,2011] but fail to represent the experimental strainheterogeneities [Baldit et al, 2013a; Michalek et al,2010], that would be related to the microstructureand the biphasic constitution. On the other hand,characterization rarely relies on volumic behaviorbut it’s relevant when models deal with soft porousmedia [Baldit et al, 2013b].This work aims to couple a poro-hyper-elasticmodel identification with homogenized anddiscretized geometries highlighting modelsensitivity and limits regarding experimentaltransverse strains measurements. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-01219449/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01219449/file/Annulus_fibrosus_microstructure_Baldit_al_2014.pdf %L hal-01219449 %U https://hal.science/hal-01219449 %~ CNRS %~ LMGC %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM-2015-2021
