It can be used when discussing specific features or attributes of a design in various contexts, such as product development, architecture, or graphic design.
Example: "One important design characteristic of this smartphone is its ergonomic shape, which enhances user comfort."
Alternatives: "a design feature" or "a design attribute".
This is a design characteristic which allows the status (operable, inoperable, or degrade) of a system or any of its sub-systems to be confidently determined in a timely fashion.
Results show, at a constant value of ΔT/˙mf which is a design characteristic of these units, the average heat transfer coefficient first decreases and then increases as the inlet mass flow rate increases.
The honeycomb PAR catalyst has a design characteristic of improved hydrogen removal performance by increasing the surface area and enhancing the flow rate through the catalyst at the same time, without increasing PAR size compared to the conventional PARs.
We determined whether a design characteristic that was not described in the abstract was present in the trials register.
We assigned a design characteristic with a score of 1 if the evaluation criteria were met or 0 if the design characteristic was not preset or was unclear.
In this paper I argue that the number of repeat measures should not be seen as a fixed design characteristic, rather it is a design choice that can be informed by statistical considerations.
Proper thermal management, consequently, is a key design characteristic.
In many studies, investigators have perceived the number of repeated measurements as a fixed design characteristic.
High velocity impact and shock or blast responses are a critical design characteristic determining sizing of composite parts and, ultimately, weight savings.
A specific design characteristic of the wind turbine is used for improving the mapping accuracy with considering the variable pitch angle.
In the few papers that have discussed power and repeat measurement (for example, Frison and Pocock[ 5]), the number of measures is seen as a fixed design characteristic, with sample size derived accordingly.
