In this study, a laminated composite damping structure (LCDS) with metal rubber (MR) as matrix and silicone rubber (SR) as reinforcement has been designed. The embedded interlocking structure formed by the multi-material interface of the LCDS can effectively incorporate the high damping characteristics of traditional polymer damping materials and significantly enhance the adjustable stiffness of the damping structure. Based on the periodic cyclic vibration excitation, dynamic tests on different laminated structures were designed, and the damping performance and fatigue characteristics under periodic vibration excitation of the LCDS, based on MR and SR, were explored in depth. The experimental results exhibited that, compared to single-compound damping structures, the LCDS with SR as reinforcement and MR as matrix has excellent stiffness and damping characteristics. The incorporation of the silicon-based reinforcement can significantly improve the performance of the entire structure under cyclic fatigue vibration. In particular, the effects of material preparation and operating parameters on the composite structure are discussed. The effects of MR matrix density, operating frequency, amplitude, and preload on the stiffness and damping properties of the MR- and SR-based LCDS were investigated by the single factor controlled variable method. The results demonstrated that the vibration frequency has little effect on the LCDS damping performance. By increasing the density of the MR matrix or increasing the structural preload, the energy dissipation characteristics and damping properties of the LCDS can be effectively improved. With the increase in vibration excitation amplitude, the energy consumption of the LCDS increases, and the average dynamic stiffness changes at different rates, resulting in the loss factor decreasing first and then increasing. In this study, a damping structure suitable for narrow areas has been designed, which overcomes the temperature intolerance and low stiffness phenomena of traditional polymer rubber materials, and provides effective guidance for the design of damping materials with controllable high damping and stiffness.
