For the description of the anisotropic Mullins effect, there is still a lack of suitable experimental data. For this purpose, experiments with carbon black filled chloroprene rubber (CR) were carried out using multiple load steps. After repeated stretching in the same direction, a subsequent first loading in any other direction on the material behaviour during that loading process, characteristic values are defined ER -
