"assess failure" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when you want to evaluate and analyze a situation in which someone or something has not worked out as desired. For example: "We need to assess the failure of the project in order to determine what went wrong and how to avoid making the same mistake in the future."
SEM images of fractured surfaces are examined to assess failure mechanics of the different configurations.
The validated model will be used to assess failure mechanisms of the roof components, fatigue demand, effectiveness of repair schemes and to supplement standard uniform static pressure tests.
Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) method has been widely used in probabilistic analysis of slope stability, and it provides a robust and simple way to assess failure probability.
The coordinates of the local model can easily be moved to rapidly assess failure initiation at numerous skin stiffener interface locations throughout the global structure.
Future work should involve an in-depth scientific study of the corrosion mechanism and an engineering predictive model is recommended in order to assess failure, and thereby attempt to increase the remaining life of offshore assets.
The calculated stresses caused by a foreign object impact are then used to assess failure locations, failure time, and failure modes in sandwich beams, which are shown to compare well with the available experimental results.
The wedge test should be valuable for assessing failure processes in spot-welded joints.
Those gathered in Rio are assessing failure, but also pondering new ways to sustain Earth's operating systems — both living and geophysical — as humanity's growth spurt crests.
To facilitate the uptake of these methods, we have recognized the need for a prescribed procedure for assessing failure risk in biotelemetry studies.
The partial factor method and the simplified approach in R6 provide two relatively simple and independent methods of assessing failure probabilities using R6.
Actually, among widely applied empirical formulations for the characterization of composites suggested by Classification Societies rules, the ones for the interlaminar shear strength appear the most scattered because of the complexity in assessing failure phenomena.
