| Abstract: | A new variant of the theory of creep of plastics with spherical inclusions or pores is proposed on the basis of approximate
equations for the integral parameters and the Volterra principle. Rabotnov's theory of viscoelasticity is used to describe
linear creep of the matrix. The remaining components of the composite are assumed to be elastic. The complete system of operator
equations of the linear viscoelasticity of plastics with spherical inclusions is obtained on the basis of the hypothesis of
elastic deformation of the composite and hydrostatic pressure. Sample calculations are performed.
