The phrase "susceptibility to damage" is correct and can be used in written English.
You can use it when referring to the propensity of an object, material, or system to be adversely affected by an outside force or factor. For example, "The wooden structure's susceptibility to damage from humidity and moisture posed a longterm risk."
Organs differ in their susceptibility to damage.
Because of the screens' susceptibility to damage from light, the most precious may not be displayed often.
There are other proposed mechanisms, including increasing one's susceptibility to damage from ultraviolet light and suppressing one's immune system.
It weakens trees and increases their susceptibility to damage from other stressors, such as drought, extreme cold, and pests.
Susceptibility to damage processes can be further complicated by choice of sterilization method and shelf aging prior to implantation.
Specimens impacted at extreme low temperature (−70 °C) exhibit less strength, and higher susceptibility to damage, resulting in severe penetration by the impactor.
In order to verify their long term susceptibility to damages caused by the changing environmental conditions, the temperature cycling test was used in three different temperature ranges: +65 °C, −12 °C, −40 °C/+85 °C (3 h in each temp., dwell time 1 h).
In fact, pre-treatment with NS309 also prevented rotenone-mediated cell death in dopaminergic neurons, suggesting that opening SK channels might modify neuronal susceptibility to damaging agents to a more tolerant state thereby providing neuroprotection.
This provides an ideal dataset to quantify long-term temporal changes of the site response after the Tohoku main shock, and test the hypothesis of preexisting damage increasing susceptibility to further damage (Rubinstein and Beroza, 2004b).
The susceptibility to that damage or the intensity of the damage may be enhanced consecutively to stressing experiences.
In addition, previous studies have suggested that pre-existing damage caused by large earthquakes could increase susceptibility to further damage by moderate aftershocks (e.g., Rubinstein and Beroza, 2004b).
