N2 - In this paper, a method for evaluating the energy loss in one-ply cord-rubber composites subjected to sinusoidal loading is proposed. In the first part, the elastic properties of the composite, namely, the effective moduli, are expressed in terms of those of the cord and rubber, and this is called a smearing procedure. Constitutive formulations are derived based on the assumptions that the overall stresses and strains in the composite are related to those in the cord and rubber through the continuity and equilibrium conditions. Once the effective moduli are found, the average stresses and strains in the composite can be calculated. Then, the stresses and strains in the cord and rubber are estimated by a de-smearing procedure. In the second part of the paper, the energy loss was evaluated for one-ply cord-rubber composites with different cord angles varying between 0 degree and 90 degree . Calculations were performed by using finite element analysis. The predicted energy loss was compared with experimental results and good correlations were obtained.
