A new and different approach to the inclusion of the amplitude-dependent effect, known as the Fletcher-Gent effect or Payne effect, in a linear viscoelastic rubber material model is presented to predict the dynamic stiffness of filled rubber isolators using a finite element (FE) code. The technique
