Averaging the viscoelastic properties of rubber-cord composites is of interest from both theoretical and practical points of view. For example, the viscoelasticity of rubber leads to heat release in rolling tires, which affects their rolling resistance and the fuel-efficiency. This work focuses on two interrelated aspects: the experimental determination of viscoelastic parameters of the rubber and rubber-cord and their calculation using the averaging method. Since only rather small strains are considered, the linear viscoelasticity theory is used. Parameters of the generalized Maxwell model are obtained. It is revealed that the relaxation times used in the rubber-cord model can also be employed in the rubber model. It is shown that the averaging procedure allows one to obtain the relaxation function and to calculate the mechanical work under harmonic vibrations with a sufficient accuracy.

从理论和实践的角度来看，对橡胶帘线复合材料的粘弹性进行平均是很有意义的。例如，橡胶的粘弹性会导致滚动轮胎释放热量，从而影响其滚动阻力和燃油效率。这项工作侧重于两个相互关联的方面：橡胶和橡胶帘线粘弹性参数的实验确定及其使用平均方法的计算。由于只考虑相当小的应变，因此使用线性粘弹性理论。获得广义麦克斯韦模型的参数。结果表明，橡胶绳模型中使用的松弛时间也可以用于橡胶模型。
