Abstract
Abstract To find the reliability of any complex network, we need to convert it into a simple network to facilitate the process of reliability calculation. In this paper we simplify a complex network into a simple network by using two techniques, in the first technique “reduction method” the complex network was converted into a parallel network, while in the second technique “delta - star method”, the complex network has been transformed into a series network. The 2 nd technique is based on the 1 st technique in finding the reliability of a subnetwork. At the end of the research, a comparison between these two methods was made.
