A viscoelastic constitutive model is proposed. The strain energy density function is introduced in the constitutive model that is validated by biaxial tensile experimental data of nylon cord-rubber composite. Results show that the large deformation and viscoelastic constitutive model is effective for cord-rubber composite.
