The phrase "a pattern of damage" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when describing a recurring or identifiable type of harm or injury observed in a particular context, such as in reports, analyses, or discussions about physical objects, environments, or health.
Example: "The investigation revealed a pattern of damage to the infrastructure, indicating a need for immediate repairs."
Alternatives: "a trend of damage" or "a series of damages".
Low velocity impacts to fibre reinforced plastic composites cause a pattern of damage consisting in general of delamination, fibre breakage and matrix cracking.
For the U-shaped frames, loaded under a simulated earthquake cycle with increasing amplitude of displacement, a pattern of damage initiation, steady state growth and failure is observed reflected in the trends in hysteresis loop area, viscous damping ratio and dynamic modulus.
By examining brain scans of a dozen professional soccer players from Germany, researchers found a pattern of damage that strongly resembled that of patients with mild traumatic brain injury, said Dr. Inga Katharina Koerte, a neuroradiologist at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital, who led the study.
One approach used to check that DNA is of ancient origin identifies a pattern of damage that is specific to ancient DNA.
Other inspectors are viewing aerial photos that would show a pattern of leaf damage indicating the beetles' presence.
A mouse receiving a 190 W AMF exposure for 220 s (b,e) exhibits a pattern of thermal damage all around the implant approximately 2 mm from the cavity.
Bridgestone/Firestone recalled 6.5 million ATX, ATX II and Wilderness AT tires on Aug. 9 after the Ford Motor Company analyzed the tire maker's data on crash claims and found a pattern of property damage and injury claims dating back at least to 1997.
Firestone recalled 6.5 million ATX, ATX II and Wilderness AT tires on Aug. 9 after Ford analyzed the tire maker's data on crash claims and found a pattern of property damage and injury claims dating back at least to 1997.
Just to strengthen the case, patients with the locked-in syndrome show both wakefulness (i.e., normal sleep-wake cycles) and awareness (though it is difficult for them to demonstrate this behaviorally), suffer a pattern of brain damage that differs markedly from that observed in coma.
The fpg-modified comet assay revealed that the transfection with PKCδ-DN induced a pattern of DNA damage similar to that observed in EV-transfected cells (0.0005±0.0001 in untreated and in BSO-treated PKCδ-DN cells and 8.532±4.658 in etoposide exposed cells).
A similar pattern of damage is seen for a mouse exposed to 800 W for 15 seconds (c,g), however the radial extent is only approximately 1 mm.
