The phrase "active failure" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in contexts related to safety, error analysis, or human factors, referring to errors made by individuals that directly lead to adverse outcomes.
Example: "The investigation revealed that the active failure of the operator was a significant factor in the accident."
Alternatives: "immediate error" or "direct mistake".
Relationships between the active failure modes are explored.
Active failure detection consists of injecting a signal (called an auxiliary signal) into the system.
In particular, both the damage distributions and the active failure mechanisms derived from the numerical analyses are consistent with those observed on the churches after the seismic event.
In this paper we propose a methodology for active failure detection for sampled-data systems in the presence of model uncertainty.
These solutions are used to generate regime maps that indicate active failure mechanisms (tile yielding, interlayer yielding and delamination) as a function of constituent properties and tile size.
Active failure detection consists of finding an input signal (auxiliary signal) such that its use allows perfect detection of faults in a multi-model framework.
Situational factors (fatigue, drugs, alcohol, stress, and multiple activities) can divert attention and increase the risk of active failures.
The paper presents an ergonomics model for workplace STF analysis that highlights information processing in STF aetiology, the STF incident process and the interaction between latent and active failures in STF causation.
Shappell and Wiegmann defined the latent failures and active failures in Reason's "Swiss cheese" model and described the "holes" of four level failures: unsafe acts, preconditions for unsafe acts, unsafe supervision, and organizational influences.
They can affect the rate at which employees execute active failures and the risks associated with active failures.
He states that errors arise for two reasons: active failures and latent conditions.
