The establishment of post-disaster humanitarian logistics (PD-HL) network is crucial to the humanitarian relief when emergency events happen, and the effective cooperation among relief agents depends on information communication and coordination which can be called trust process. So trust in PD-HL plays a fundamental role in building and implementing humanitarian logistics network. This paper analyzed the trust structure of relief patterns in PD-HL network based on three topological models: ACE (Agency Centric Efforts), PIE (Partially Integrated Efforts) and CAN (Collaborative Aid Networks). Three kinds of influence matrices of PD-HL networks were constructed and simulated through NK model to analyze the trust structure in three indicators including global optimum, the average of local optimum and the quantity of local optimum. Finally, several recommendations were given for the operation of PD-HL.
