Abstract The ability of a material to absorb and release mechanical vibrations during cyclic loading is known as damping capacity. When it came to resonant loading and deformation, modern structural materials needed to have good mechanical and damping qualities. The suitable damping properties of metal alloys and metal matrix composites make them useful for marine, automotive, and aerospace structures. Lightweight materials can achieve both improved cargo capacity and lower fuel consumption. The development of lightweight composite materials with a high damping ability for the structural parts has greatly aided in meeting the aforementioned requirements. Pure metals and alloys have demonstrated superior mechanical capabilities, while having the least amount of dampening capacity. As a result, composites that have both good mechanical and damping qualities have been introduced. The damping characteristics of lightweight materials like aluminum and their equivalent composites have been determined in the literature that is now available. This review concludes and presents the damping characteristics of metals, alloys, and their composites.
