Axle Support of a Vehicle, Said Support Consisting of Fiber-Reinforced Plastic Material

Abstract

An axle support of a vehicle, in particular a passenger motor vehicle, consists of an upper shell and a lower shell, each of which is formed from a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic material. When the upper shell and the lower shell are assembled together, they form a hollow body. In this case, the upper shell and the lower shell are screwed together by way of metal insert parts, which are laminated at least in sections into the shell parts. A core part, in particular formed from a plastic foam, for transferring the shear stresses over a wide area can be glued into the cavity between the upper shell and the lower shell at least in the region of the opposing metal insert parts. Furthermore, at least one of the insert parts can be designed simultaneously for connecting an add on part.
