[0003] As a crucial structure supporting the turbine generator unit, the turbine foundation's dynamic performance directly impacts the unit's safe and stable operation. The damping ratio is a vital parameter describing a structure's energy dissipation capacity during vibration, and it is essential for accurately calculating the turbine foundation's vibration response and dynamic stability.
[0004] However, turbine foundations are typically composite structures made of steel, concrete, piles, and soil.
