title = "Exact expression for the distribution of linear combinations of uniform random variables",
abstract = "Structural dynamic analysis have often in the past relied on the assumption that the system under consideration is well known ahd have been associated the unpredictability of the response with a lack of knowledge of the excitation. More recently, however, it has been found that a proper understanding of the behavior of certain mechanical systems can only be reached by considering some of the system parameters, such as mass, stiffness and/or damping to be random variables. The goal of the present paper is to partially address this problem by describing a new numerical technique for the evaluation of the probability that a linear combination of independent uniformly distributed random variables exceeds a given threhshold and also of some related conditional moments.",
