Abstract: Metal rubber materials, composed of a metal matrix and porous elastic damping material, possess a combination of high elasticity and large damping properties of rubber, along with excellent physical and mechanical properties of metal matrix materials. As a key vibration-reduction component in high-end equipment, this material holds significant potential for application. However, the intricate fabrication process and disordered internal structure make it challenging to establish a clear mapping relationship between the material's microscopic structure and macroscopic performance, thus limiting the optimization and industrial application of this material. This work provides a comprehensive overview of the current status and advancements in the research of metal rubber materials, both domestically and internationally. It sequentially discusses the fabrication process, digital measurement and modeling techniques, research status of performance characterization theory, and engineering applications of metal rubber materials. The focus is on the unique mechanical and physical properties of metal rubber and how these properties are influenced by their internal structure and actual working conditions. The aim is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the latest research progress and future development trends in this metal-based porous damping material.
