As the above-mentioned strength member in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, for example, a side member SM is known which is extruded into a rectangular closed cross section using an aluminum light alloy material as shown in FIG. 64-67482). The side member SM is provided with a plurality of welding beads 2 at appropriate intervals in the longitudinal direction on the peripheral wall at the end of the member main body 1, and has a knotted shape due to an annealing effect at the time of forming the welding beads 2. A rigid portion is formed, and when a collision input acts in the axial direction, the member main body 1 can be easily buckled and deformed by the low rigidity portion.

It is also conceivable that the member main body 1 is formed in a lattice-like closed cross section.

When a collision input acts on the side member SM in the axial direction at the time of a vehicle collision, a plurality of longitudinal members are formed on the peripheral wall at the end of the member main body 1 in the one shown in FIG. Since the weld bead 2 is formed and buckling deformation is likely to occur from these weld bead 2 portions as a starting point, the initial reaction force load Pc 1 can be kept relatively small as shown by the line a in FIG. On the other hand, the average reaction force load Pm 1 generated after the start of buckling is also reduced, and the amount of collision energy absorption is reduced.

When a collision input acts on the end of the member body in the axial direction at the time of collision of the vehicle, a rib is formed at the end face of the member body from the connection point with the peripheral edge of the member body toward the inside of the member body. Because the rib cross section is extremely small, it is easy to buckle and deform in the axial direction.
The initial reaction force load can be kept small. Since the rib cross-sectional area gradually increases as the buckling progresses, the original reinforcing effect of the rib is obtained, the average reaction load is increased, and the collision energy absorption amount is increased.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a side member SM extruded from an aluminum light alloy material into a rectangular closed cross section.
A vertical rib 3 and a horizontal rib 4 that divide the closed cross section into a plurality are integrally formed in the longitudinal direction inside the member main body 1. At the ends of the vertical ribs 3 and the horizontal ribs 4, inclined portions 3 a, 4 a extending from the connection point with the peripheral edge of the member main body 1 toward the inside of the member main body 1 are formed.
In this embodiment, the inclined portions 3a and 4a are formed in an arc shape with the intersection of the vertical ribs 3 and the horizontal ribs 4 as the deepest portion, and the ribs are cut from the end face side of the member body 1 toward the inside. The area is gradually increased from zero so that buckling deformation is easily caused when a collision input acts on the end portion in the axial direction.

Here, the length of the long side of the member body 1 is L
a, the length of the inclined portions 3a, 4a from the end surface of the member main body 1 to the deepest portion is defined as Lb. Considering the change in the initial reaction force load with respect to the collision input, as shown in FIG.
The initial reaction force load decreases as b increases, but Lb is La
The initial resistance load exceeds dimensions, the resultant substantially constant as initial resistance load Pc 1 equivalent values in the member body 1 in a simple rectangular closed cross section with no ribs therein (see FIG. 14). Furthermore, Lb is initial resistance load becomes asymptotic to the Pc 1 in the vicinity of the dimension of 1 / 2La.

On the other hand, considering the buckling load-displacement characteristics of the member body 1 when the dimension Lb is set to La or more, as shown in FIG. 4, the initial reaction force load at the time of collision is Pc 1 . However, the reaction force load decreases sharply thereafter, and then rises again, and the inclined portions 3a, 3a,
Beyond the intersection of 4a, the reaction force load is obtained as Pm 2 and becomes substantially constant. However, in this case, since the reaction load suddenly drops at the initial stage of the buckling deformation at the time of the collision of the member main body 1, the provision of the vertical ribs 3 and the horizontal ribs 4 greatly reduces the collision energy absorption. Growth cannot be expected.

According to the structure of the above embodiment, when a collision input acts on the end of the member main body 1 at the time of a vehicle collision, the member main body 1 buckles and collapses together with the internal vertical ribs 3 and the horizontal ribs 4 to reduce the collision energy. In the initial stage of the collision, only the peripheral wall of the member main body 1 buckles due to the formation of the arc-shaped inclined portions 3a and 4a of the vertical ribs 3 and the horizontal ribs 4, and C in FIG.
As shown by the line, the initial reaction force load is obtained as Pc 1 and can be kept low. When the buckling deformation advances from the position A shown in FIG. 2 to the position B, the cross-sectional areas of the vertical ribs 3 and the horizontal ribs 4 gradually increase, and the vertical ribs 3 and the horizontal ribs 4 also buckle. A sudden drop is avoided, and the buckling deformation proceeds after the intersection of the inclined portions 3a, 4a of the vertical ribs 3 and the horizontal ribs 4, so that the reaction force load becomes Pm 2 and becomes substantially constant. Become. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the impact force by suppressing the initial reaction force load at the time of a vehicle collision, and to increase the average reaction force load after the initial stage of the collision, thereby realizing an increase in the collision energy absorption. it can.
