Abstract :
Kapur formulated quadratic programming problems for determining bounds on the design reliability, given some bounds on the probabilities of the stress and strength random variables. We modify Kapur´s formulation to improve its accuracy, and present a solution to the resulting quadratic programming problems that can be evaluated manually.
