Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described. In the road noise and muffled sound regions, the front side member 20 vibrates around the main axis M as indicated by an arrow N in FIG. At this time, considering the state where the front side member 20 is deformed to the outside of the vehicle body, the dash panel 1
The center of 6 is pushed to the front of the vehicle body, and the bottom 1 of the cowl 10
A pulling force acts in the left-right direction on the front end portion of 0A, and a compressive force acts on the rear end portion of the bottom surface 10A of the cowl 10 on the contrary.
In this case, when the bottom surface 10A of the cowl 10 is curved in a convex shape, the convex shape is relaxed at the front end portion of the bottom surface 10A, and the convex shape is promoted at the rear end portion of the bottom surface 10A in the direction in which the bottom surface 10A is promoted.
A is easily deformed.

On the other hand, in the cowl structure for an automobile according to the first embodiment, the bottom surface 10A of the cowl 10 is formed into a straight flat surface in the vehicle width direction so that the moment caused by the load acting on the side member 20 is generated. As a result, the bottom surface 10A of the cowl 10 becomes a beam and is unlikely to be deformed against tensile and compressive stress acting on the bottom surface 10A of the cowl 10 from the left and right. Therefore, the rigidity of the cowl-dash panel system can be increased and the vibration of the cowl-dash panel system can be reduced.

Further, it is considered that the dash panel 16 is rotationally deformed around a point between points B and C in FIG. 2 due to the moment caused by the load acting on the side member 20. Now, assuming that the dash panel 16 is tilted toward the front of the vehicle body about the point B as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 1, the cowl 10 is moved in the direction of the plane S1 as shown in FIG.
And under the force indicated by arrow F in FIG. Therefore, if the bottom surface 10A of the cowl 10 coincides with the flat surface S1, the force F due to the deformation of the dash panel 16 will be received by the in-plane stress of the bottom surface 10A of the cowl 10.
0 effectively acts as a rigid member of the dash panel 16. Therefore, the rigidity of the cowl-dash panel system can be increased and the vibration of the cowl-dash panel system can be reduced.
