5 Acknowledgments This thesis was performed during my time as scientific engineer at Hamburg University of Technology at the Institute of Aircraft Systems Engineering (Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg, Institut für Flugzeug-Systemtechnik). First I would like to thank my thesis advisor Prof. Dr.-Ing. Frank Thielecke for his continual guidance, professional support and encouragement throughout the years. I will always remember the trustful working environment, the scientific freedom and the fruitful discussions, which certainly have been the basis for the successful completion of this thesis. I would further like to thank my co-advisor Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dieter Krause and Prof. Dr. Ralf God as the head of my examination board. The research project "Dynamic Barrel - Simulation and Testing" provided great contribution to this thesis. Based on intensive collaboration of university and industrial partners within this project, a unique testing and research platform was realized for developing innovative dynamic testing methods for aircraft structures and components. I am very thankful to Dr.-Ing. Ludger Merz for his professional support and his problem-solving way of thinking. Furthermore, I would like to thank everyone whom I had the chance to work with. Amongst others, I especially like to thank Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Meier-Noe, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Achim Merklinger, Christian Busch and Andreas Grimm. It is a special pleasure to thank the colleagues and friends I met throughout my time at the institute. The technical and scientific discussions with all colleagues and students and also the motivation and support in and out of the office contributed a lot to this work. I owe my deepest gratitude to my family for the continuous support and understanding over all the years. Especially the love, support and encouragement of my wife, Anja Pleus, gave me the supplemental energy and confidence to finish this thesis. iii
