Abstract: Dynamic reliability aims to relax the rigid hypotheses of traditional reliability enabling the possibility to model multi-state systems and consider changes of the nominal design condition of a system. The solution of such type of models is a complex task that cannot be tackled with analytical techniques and must involve other types of formalisms based on simulation. One of the most promising simulation approach is Stochastic Hybrid Automaton (SHA), able to breakdown a system into a physical and a stochastic model that are coupled together with shared variables and synchronising mechanisms.
