Lusser's law in systems engineering is a prediction of reliability. Named after engineer Robert Lusser, and also known as ''Lusser's product law'' or the ''probability product law of series components'', it states that the reliability of a series system is equal to the product of the reliability of its component subsystems, if their failure modes are known to be statistically independent. For a series of ''n'' components, this is expressed as: : where ''Rs'' is the overall reliability of the system, and ''rn'' is the reliability of the ''n''th component. Lusser's law has been described as the idea that a series system is "weaker than its weakest link", as the product reliability of a series of components can be less than the lowest-value component. For example, given a series system of two components with different reliabilities — one of 0.95 and the other of 0.8 — Lusser's law will predict a reliability of : which is lower than either of the individual components. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lusser's law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
