The co-cured damping composite structures with visco-elastic film embedded (CDCSVFE) with characteristics of high specific stiffness, specific strength, large damping, good interlayer bonding force and other excellent properties are widely used. Therefore, in recent years, CDCSVFE process exploration, structure optimization and theoretical research have become a hot research area. The damping properties research has become a hot topic and dynamics properties of CDCSVFE with different technology processes and structures were studied by numerical analysis, experimental exploration and theoretical derivation. This paper reviewed the current research status of CDCSVFE technology, structure and theory, including the influence of damping layer number, thickness and embedding mode, boundary conditions on the damping and dynamic properties of CDCSVFE, and emphasized the latest preparation process and main theoretical research methods of CDCSVFE. Finally, the present development difficulties and future development direction of CDCSVFE were put forward. It will lay the foundation for CDCSVFE to become a future main bearing part from a current secondary bearing part.
