Stochastic comparisons of linear (circular) consecutive k-out-of-n:F systems with independent components are studied. A sufficient condition is given under which the lifetime of a circular consecutive k-out-of-n:F system with independent and nonidentically distributed components is stochastically decreasing in n for fixed k. Furthermore, the likelihood ratio orderings of the lifetimes of linear (circular) consecutive k-out-of-n:F systems with independent and identically distributed components are also established, and some counterexamples are given to show that these orderings are not true in general.
