A method of measuring the dynamic viscoelastic properties of polymers at large strain magnitudes, well above the limit of linear viscoelastic response, has been developed. A straight line relationship has been found between the dynamic stress and the dynamic strain above the limit of linear viscoelastic response. This straight line relationship can be described by a dynamic in‐phase modulus that is a function of the maximum strain applied and the frequency of the applied dynamic strain. This rheological characterization method is demonstrated for a series of synthetic elastomers with various carbon black loadings.
