This paper proposes a new method of calculating stochastic field. It is an improvement of the midpoint method of stochastic field. The vibration equation of a system is transformed to a static problem by using the Newmark method and the Taylor expansion is extended for the structural vibration analysis with uncertain factors. In order to develop computational efficiency and allow for efficient storage, the Conjugate Gradient method CG is also employed. An example is given, respectively, and calculated results are compared to validate the proposed methods. 1. Introduction Material properties, geometry parameters, and applied loads of the structure are assumed to be stochastic. Although the finite element method analysis of complicated structures has become a generally widespread and accepted numerical method, regarding the given factors as constants cannot apparently correspond to the reality of a structure. In order to enhance computational accuracy, the influence of random factors must be considered. Many physics parameters of material possess spatial variability, such as Young’s modulus and
