It's a matter of common knowledge, that carbon black‐or silica‐loaded elastomers show a pronounced nonlinearity when excited with dynamic deformation amplitudes, namely the Payne‐effect. Furthermore, several experiments prove a very complex history‐dependence and significant recovery‐behaviour of this effect. In the present paper, a few experimental results of dynamical measurements on filler‐loaded rubber are shown with importance attached to the complicated history dependence. In order to describe the depicted phenomena, a model, based on intrinsic time scales is presented with corresponding simulation results. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
