Hungary, from where I thank Prof. Zoltán Horváth for helping the progression of this work by fostering the cooperation with Prof. Bestle, and Prof. Zoltán Varga for the inspiring discussions related to the research topic.I also thank all colleagues from the Chair of Engineering Mechanics and Vehicle Dynamics for their kindness and support, and especially for organising the yearly 'Kolloquium', where I enjoyed exchanging ideas. Finally, I thank my beloved Rozi for her enduring patience and backing.
