Acknowledgements
First, I would like to thank Dr Öztürk, expert in durability, load and data analysis
at BMW Motorrad, Germany, who supervised this thesis. Your contagious positive
mindset resulted in a pleasant working atmosphere. Besides that, you also helped to
improve the quality of the research with your expertise and our extensive professional
discussions. The freedom and independency you granted me to try novel ideas were
also pivotal for this thesis.
Another thank you belongs to Professor Liebich at the Chair of Engineering Design
and Product Reliability at the Technische Universität Berlin, Germany. Your en-
couragement and feedback really drove me forward. Your overall knowledge in the
relevant elds, but also scientic work in general, led to valuable discussions and
helped to gain a dierent perspective on the work.
Furthermore, I would like to thank Professor Meywerk at the Chair of Vehicle Engi-
neering at the Helmut-Schmidt-Universität / Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg,
Germany, for reviewing this thesis.
Additionally, I want to thank Professor Meyer at the Chair of Machine System Design
at the Technische Universität Berlin, Germany, for chairing the exam.
Finally, I would like to thank my family and my friends for always supporting me
and believing in me.
