Sentence examples for a cascading failure of from inspiring English sources

A cascading failure of landslide dams causes a gradually increasing flow velocity and discharge of the front flow, resulting in an increase in both diameter and percentage of the entrained coarse particles.

For example, let's say we have a cascading failure of the western interconnect - the type of failure which a couple of Chinese researchers recently published a paper about.

This study illustrates that upstream flows can induce a cascading failure of the landslide dams along a channel.

Larry M. Wortzel, a military strategist and China specialist, told the House Foreign Affairs Committee on March 10 that it should be concerned because "Chinese researchers at the Institute of Systems Engineering of Dalian University of Technology published a paper on how to attack a small U.S. power grid sub-network in a way that would cause a cascading failure of the entire U.S".

A Bureau of Reclamation study released in 1980 proved that a failure of Auburn Dam would result in a giant wave reaching Folsom Lake within five minutes, and most likely would cause a cascading failure of Folsom and Nimbus Dams downstream as well within an hour, unleashing millions of acre-feet of water which would cause far greater damage downstream than any possible natural flood.
