Dedicated to all persons who supported my professional career, in particular Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr.-Ing. E. h. Hans Jürgen Matthies (19212016) whose inspiring lectures at TH Braunschweig (about 1963) convinced me to direct my interest to agricultural engineering (as one important field of mechanical engineering). He offered me a position at his institute, became my doctoral adviser, my engaged mentor, my dear revered colleague and finally a fatherly good friend.
