For structure-acoustic system with uncertainties, the interval model, the random model and the hybrid uncertain model have been introduced. In the interval model and the random model, the uncertain parameters are described as either the random variable with well defined probability density function(PDF) or the interval variable without any probability information, whereas in the hybrid uncertain model both interval variable and random variable exist simultaneously. For response analysis of these three uncertain models of structure-acoustic problem involving arbitrary PDFs, a unified polynomial expansion method named as the Interval and Random Arbitrary Polynomial Chaos method(IRAPCM) is proposed. In IRAPCM, the response of the structure-acoustic system is approximated by APC expansion in a unified form. Particularly, only the weight function of polynomial basis is required to be changed to construct the APC expansion for the response of different uncertain models. Through the unified APC expansion, the uncertain properties of the response of three uncertain
