This paper describes modelling of dynamic mechanical properties of heterogenous rubbery material with nanometre size inclusions. Model of calculation loading-unloading tensile curves heterogenous rubbery network was presented. The material was considered a tetrafunctional network of amorphous chains with solid inclusions. The chains in the vicinity of the inclusion were considered immobilized. The dynamic response was modelled as a time dependent of chains slippage in the entanglement. The model was tested by virtual loading-unloading experiment. The sample was deformed with defined deformation rate until double elongation and released back to the zero-stress. Numerical value of dissipated energy density was calculated as a surface delimited by tensile deformation and unloading curves. Heterogenous network showed non-elastic or nonlinearly elastic response. The tensile deformation curves and unloading curves were not aligned and dissipation of the energy during the loading unloading cycle was observed. The non-aligned loading and unloading curves were caused by energy barrier. Increase of energy barrier leaded to slower motion of chain in the entanglement and consequently to elastic response
