Probability density evolution method is proposed for dynamic response analysis of structures with random parameters. In the present paper, a probability density evolution equation (PDEE) is derived according to the principle of preservation of probability. With the state equation expression, the PDEE is further reduced to a one-dimensional partial differential equation. The numerical algorithm is studied through combining the precise time integration method and the finite difference method with TVD schemes. The proposed method can provide the probability density function (PDF) and its evolution, rather than the second-order statistical quantities, of the stochastic responses. Numerical examples, including a SDOF system and an 8-story frame, are investigated. The results demonstrate that the proposed method is of high accuracy and efficiency. Some characteristics of the PDF and its evolution of the stochastic responses are observed. The PDFs evidence heavy variance against time. Usually, they are much irregular and far from well-known regular distribution types. Additionally, the coefficients of variation of the random parameters have significant influence on PDF and second-order statistical quantities of responses of the stochastic structure.
