where fx and fp are probability density functions (PDEs) of strength and
load, and 1(7,q) is an indicator function which takes the value 1 when
the failure condition is satisfied and 0 otherwise. Typically, Eq. 1
cannot be solved in closed-form, but is insead estimated using
analytical or numerical techniques.
