Parallel superposition experiments are used here for the linear and nonlinear rheological characterization of a commercial polydisperse polymer melt in the entangled state. In the limit of small amplitude of the oscillations, we focus (to our knowledge for the first time) on the time-temperature superposition principle. With increasing oscillation amplitudes, the storage and loss moduli become amplitude-dependent at amplitudes which vary with the strength of the background flow. Experimental results are compared with predictions of a recent molecularly-based constitutive equation in order to validate the equation itself as well as to interpret the data in terms of the molecular mechanisms accounted for in the constitutive equation.
