“…Time variant uncertainties exist extensively in practical engineering [1,2], due to the existence of time variant uncertain factors such as material degeneration, random dynamic loads, etc. [3][4][5][6]. It is crucial to quantify the effects of these time variant uncertainties on system response for improving a system's life-cycle safety [7][8][9].…”

In this paper, a time variant uncertainty propagation (TUP) method for dynamic structural system with high-dimensional input variables is proposed. Firstly, an arbitrary stochastic process simulation (ASPS) method based on Karhunen–Loève (K–L) expansion and numerical integration is developed, expressing the stochastic process as the combination of its marginal distributions and eigen functions at several discrete time points. Secondly, the iterative sorting method is implemented to the statistic samples of marginal distributions for matching the constraints of covariance function. Since marginal distributions are directly used to express the stochastic process, the proposed ASPS is suitable for stationary or non-stationary stochastic processes with arbitrary marginal distributions. Thirdly, the high-dimensional TUP problem is converted into several high-dimensional static uncertainty propagation (UP) problems after implementing ASPS. Then, the Bayesian deep neural network based UP method is used to compute the marginal distributions as well as the eigen functions of dynamic system response, the high-dimensional TUP problem can thus be solved. Finally, several numerical examples are used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. This article is part of the theme issue 'Physics-informed machine learning and its structural integrity applications (Part 1)'.
