本文介绍了在设计研究文献中概述的假设生成和测试过程之后，试图证实功能模型推导方法的重复性和唯一性主张的研究结果。构建了三个实验，并与具有一系列工程设计技能水平的参与者池一起进行。实验测试了功能模型派生方法在不同设计者之间为给定产品产生可重复的功能模型的实用性。此外，还考察了参与者所产生的功能模型的唯一性。结果表明，该方法提高了可重复性，并引导设计者建立了产品独特的功能模型。还指出了该方法的不足之处和改进的机会。
This paper presents the results of research attempts to substantiate repeatability and uniqueness claims of a functional model derivation method following a hypothesis generation and testing procedure outlined in design research literature. Three experiments are constructed and carried out with a participant pool that possesses a range of engineering design skill levels. The experiments test the utility of a functional model derivation method to produce repeatable functional models for a given product among different designers. In addition to this, uniqueness of the functional models produced by the participants is examined. Results indicate the method enhances repeatability and leads designers toward a unique functional model of a product. Shortcomings of the method and opportunities for improvement are also identified.
