Uncertainty propagation (UP) of the frequency response is essential for the robust design of viscoelastic damping structures. One challenge in solving this problem is enormous computation cost from the UP analysis. This paper aims to develop a novel computational effective method based on the combination of the adaptive sparse grid collocation (ASGC) method and the high dimensional model representation (HDMR) technique to evaluate the variability of the frequency response of viscoelastic damping structures. First, a well-validated layer-wise finite element method is employed to model the viscoelastic damping structures. The direct frequency response (DFR) method is utilized to calculate the response. Then, a modified adaptive strategy using expectation increments as the sampling indicator is proposed for cost-effective sparse grid construction. Lastly, high dimensional model representation (HDMR) technique is introduced to address the difficulty in moderate and high random dimensional situations. Two numerical examples are provided to assess the performances of the proposed method. Variations in constitutive parameters of viscoelastic material and thicknesses of the viscoelastic layer are considered. Numerical results show that, compared to the original high-dimensional ASGC method and Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), the proposed method accurately predicts the variability of frequency responses and significantly improves the computational efficiency.
