Abstract

A structural member for the body of a motor vehicle includes a generally elongated support member which at least partially encloses an interior volume, and a reinforcing inset which is disposed in the interior volume. The reinforcing insert extends along at least a portion of the length of the support member, and has a cross section which defines a closed perimeter that encloses an area. The inset member may be configured so as to control its deformation characteristics thereby providing a structural member which efficiently and safely absorbs kinetic energy in a crash.
