Foundations for Considering the Robustness within the CRC TRR 30 Biermann, Dirk Gausemeier, J{\"u}rgen Hess, Stefan K{\, Daniel Petersen, Marcus Wagner, T Heim, Hans-Peter Biermann, Dirk Homberg, Werner The consideration of the robustness is indispensable to ensure a reliable and reproducible manufacturing of functionally graded components. In order to establish a common understanding as basis for the holistic robustness consideration within the Collaborative Transregional Research Centre 30 (CRC Transregio 30), a joint development of methods for analysing and optimising the robustness is necessary. The term "robustness", however, has been used differently in the various disciplines of the CRC Transregio 30. Thus, this contribution proposes a common definition of robustness for the whole research centre. In addition, a procedure model for considering the robustness with a collection of methods, that can be combined or adapted by the involved disciplines, is presented. The validation of the recommended procedure model has been conducted by a compression moulding process.
