Abstract: In this paper, the reliability of a linear (circular) consecutive k-out-of-n: F system of non-identical elements have been obtained with the help of intuitionistic fuzzy concept and Weibull lifetime distribution. The calculation of parameters of the Weibull distribution is presented by intuitionistic triangular fuzzy numbers. The Markov chain technique is employed to compute the reliability of the transition state of the system. A numerical example is also illustrated for demonstrating the reliability of the system.

Keywords: linear (circular) (k, n:F) system; reliability; Weibull distribution; intuitionistic fuzzy numbers.
