【 摘 要 】

The hybrid material usage is an innovative way to improve the strength performance of the vehicles without causing useless weight increasing. One of the main goals of the competition sports are to lose more and more weight, meanwhile the vehicle needs to accepted on the certifications. That is the reason why new and special materials, like the aluminum foam what belongs to the metal matrix composites should be used. The purpose of this research is that the aluminum foam can be used safely as supporting element in the motorcycle body. In this paper a frame and swing arm of a racing motorcycle using aluminum foam and carbon fabric composite has been made. Adhesive bonding was used to create the hybrid material pairing. To investigate the strength properties of this hybrid aluminum foam and composites tensile and bending tests were performed. The results are used for calculations of the motorcycle body parameters, base information to the designing.
