Abstract
Description
フロントサイドメンバを軽量化するために肉厚を薄くすると、小さな荷重で座屈変形してしまい、十分に衝撃を吸収することができない。一方、肉厚を厚くすれば十分な衝撃吸収能力が期待できるが、重量が増加して燃費改善が図れない。このように、軽量化と耐衝突安全性の向上とは相反する特性であり、これら両方の特性を兼ね備えた車体の骨格部材が要望されている。
この衝撃吸収構造によれば、長手方向に衝撃が作用したときに、蛇腹状に変形することができる、とされている。そして、この変形の際、衝撃吸収部材は、一端側から順に変形するので、衝撃吸収部材の軸方向の圧縮変形が安定化し、衝撃吸収の性能が向上する、とされている。
このビードの配置決定方法によれば、従来に比べて最適なビードおよびその位置を容易に決定することができる、とされている。
この自動車の強度部材によれば、長手ビードの凹状部及び凸状部の境界部位と、境界部位と隣り合う境界部材の略中央部位とが座屈することで、衝撃エネルギーを吸収する、とされている。
例えば上記特許文献1の場合は、部材を蛇腹変形させて衝撃エネルギーを吸収しているが、衝撃エネルギーの加わり方によっては想定通りに部材を潰せない場合がある。
また、特許文献2では、部材に対して所定の衝撃エネルギーが加わることを前提としてビードの最適配置を定めているが、この場合もやはり、衝撃エネルギーの加わり方によっては想定通りに部材を潰せない場合がある。
さらに、特許文献3では、長手ビードがその凹状部と凸状部との境界において交互に変形させることで蛇腹変形させており、この点で上記特許文献1と同様の課題を有している。
(1)本発明の一態様は、フランジ部を有してかつ長手方向に垂直な断面形状がハット頂部を有するハット型のハット型部材と、前記フランジ部に接合されてかつ前記ハット頂部に対向する板状部材と、を有する衝撃吸収部材であって、前記ハット頂部及び前記板状部材の少なくとも一方の壁部に変形誘導部が設けられ;前記変形誘導部が、前記壁部において相対的に座屈耐力が高い第1高強度部と、相対的に座屈耐力が低くてかつ前記長手方向に沿って見た場合に前記第1高強度部を間に挟む両側に配置された一対の低強度部と、を有し;前記長手方向に沿って見た場合に、前記一対の低強度部のそれぞれに隣接するように前記変形誘導部の両側に配置され、前記低強度部に対して相対的に座屈強度が高い一対の第2高強度部を有する。
[第1実施形態]
図1の(a)~(c)に示すように、本実施形態の衝撃吸収部材1は、4枚の壁部1a~1dによって囲まれた中空断面構造を有する。より具体的には、衝撃吸収部材1は、4枚の壁部1a~1dで形成された一方向に長い筒形状を有している。ここで言う一方向とは、衝撃吸収部材1の長手方向を示し、図1の(a)及び(b)では紙面左右方向(X方向)、(c)では紙面垂直方向を示す。
各壁部1a~1dの長手方向一端側は、外部からの衝撃荷重を受ける一端部1e1となっている。本実施形態では、図1の(a)に示す紙面左側が一端部1e1とされているが、衝撃吸収部材1は長手方向中央において左右対称形状とされているため、紙面右側の他端部1e2で衝撃荷重を受けるように構成してもよい。
成形体2は、ウエブ部2aと、ウエブ部2aの幅方向両側縁に連なる一対の縦壁部2bと、これら縦壁部2bに連なる一対のフランジ部2cとを備えており、その長手方向に垂直な断面形状がハット型をなしている。ウエブ部2aは、前記一方向に長い長方形状を有している。一対の縦壁部2bのそれぞれも、前記一方向に長い長方形状を有している。そして、図1の(c)に示す通り、一対の縦壁部2bはそれぞれウエブ部2aに対して直角よりもやや広めの角度をもって一体に接続されているため、これら一対の縦壁部2bは、長手方向に垂直な断面で見た場合、ウエブ部2aとの組み合わせにより台形状を形成している。さらに、一対の縦壁部2bそれぞれの端縁には、フランジ部2cが一体に形成されている。これらフランジ部2cは、それぞれが前記一方向に長い長方形状を有してかつ、互いに平行をなしている。
各ビード部5の長手方向は、壁部1dの長手方向と平行になっている。また、各ビード部5は、図1の(c)に示すように壁部1dから衝撃吸収部材1の外側に向けて突出している。より具体的には、各ビード部5は、その長手方向に垂直な断面で見た場合、すなわち図1の(c)に示す断面で見た場合に、外方に向かって三角形の角部が突出した形状をなしており、例えばプレス成形により形成することが可能である。なお、同断面におけるビード部5の形状は、三角形のみに限らず、例えば半円形状や半楕円形状などその他の形状を採用してもよい。
このように、高強度部4aの有効幅を低強度部4bの有効幅よりも大きくすることで、高強度部4aの座屈耐力が、低強度部4bの座屈耐力に比べて相対的に大きくなる。
高強度部4aの、壁部1dの長手方向に沿う長さL1(mm)は、ビード部5の長手方向の長さによって決まる。すなわち、高強度部4aの長さL1(mm)は、変形誘導部4が設けられた壁部1dとこの壁部1dと対向して配置された別の壁部1aとの間隔H(mm)の0.8倍以上かつ2.0倍以下が好ましい。以下、壁部1dと壁部1aとの間隔H(mm)は、壁部1dの平坦部の内面(上面)と壁部1aの平坦部の外面(上面)との距離とする。例えば、間隔H(mm)は、いわゆるハット高さと同じであり、図1の(c)に示すように、フランジ部2cの下面からハット頂部となるウエブ部2aの上面の平坦領域までの高さ寸法である。
上述のように高強度部4aの長さL1(mm)を規定することで、一対の低強度部4b間を確実に隔てることができるので、各低強度部4bのそれぞれにおいて起こる曲げ変形を相互に干渉させることなく、曲げ変形箇所を分散することが可能になる。
また、高強度部4aの長さL1(mm)が壁部1d,1a間の間隔H(mm)の2.0倍以下であれば、変形誘導部4において曲げ変形を生じさせることができる。すなわち、L1≦2.0×Hとすることで、一対の低強度部4bの内のどちらか一方のみではなく、その両方に曲げ変形を生じさせることができる。
C≦0.6×Hとすることで、曲げ変形が起きる場所を狭い領域に限定することができ、これにより高強度部4aによる曲げ変形箇所の分散機能をより高めることができる。又、0<C(mm)であればよいが、C(mm)の下限は、0.1×H(mm)、0.2×H(mm)でもよい。
また、低強度部4bで曲げを起こすためには、長手方向(X方向)に沿った各高強度部7の寸法L7(mm)を、前記間隔H(mm)の0.8倍以上とすることが好ましい。L7の上限は、間隔H(mm)の2.0倍、3.0倍、又は、4.0倍であることが好ましい。あるいは、低強度部4bから部材端部に至るまでの間を高強度部7としてもよい。
また、ビード部5の幅wは10mm以上であることが好ましい。この、ビード部5の形状寸法に関する規定は、その断面形状が三角形状の場合のみならず、半円形状や半楕円形状などその他断面形状の場合にも適用できる。
d/t≧2.0及びw≧10の少なくとも一方の条件を満たすことにより、高強度部4a及び低強度部4b間における座屈耐力差を効果的に発現させることができる。その結果、一対の低強度部4b間を高強度部4aにより互いに離間させた状態を維持しつつ、各低強度部4bの各位置における曲げ変形を実現させることが可能となる。なお、この効果は、d/t≧2.0及びw≧10のうちの一方を満たせば得られるが、双方を満たせばより確実な効果を期待できる。
図2に示すように、衝撃荷重の印加に起因する曲げモーメントMが衝撃吸収部材1に対して加わった場合、間に高強度部4aを挟むことによって互いに離間した2つの低強度部4bそれぞれが曲がって曲げモーメントMを吸収する。すなわち、マクロ的に見た場合には、衝撃吸収部材1の長手方向における1箇所で曲げモーメントMを吸収するように見えるが、ミクロ的に見た場合には、2つの低強度部4bに分散して曲げモーメントMを負担している。したがって、曲げモーメントMが加わることによる曲がりを2箇所に分散することができるので、衝撃エネルギーの吸収量を大幅に増やすことが出来る。
さらに、上記のメカニズムに加えて、下記メカニズムの効果による衝撃エネルギーの吸収量増大も期待できる。
すなわち、衝撃荷重の印加に起因する曲げモーメントMが衝撃吸収部材1に対して加わった場合、各低強度部4bのそれぞれにおいては内方に凹むように変形する一方、高強度部4aにおいては外方に膨出するように変形する。より具体的には、図3の(a)に示すように、各低強度部4bでの曲げ変形の結果、板状部材3(壁部1d)の高強度部4aではその長手方向寸法が短くなるため、高強度部4aが長手方向中央に向けて圧縮される。圧縮状態にある高強度部4aは、その肉の逃げ場がないため、部材の外側に向かって膨らむように変形する。
このようにして高強度部4aが圧縮を受けて膨出部を形成するように変形する際、高強度部4aが突っ張り棒として機能するため、変形を広範囲に広げ、衝撃エネルギーを効果的に吸収することが可能である。このような膨出部が形成されるためには、変形前において平坦領域(例えば、平板ままの部分)を、一対のビード部と一対の低強度部とによって囲むように構成することが好ましい。この構成によれば、変形後に、前記平坦領域が、前述した過程を経て膨出部を形成しやすい。
図4の(a)に示すように、図2の場合と同様の曲げモーメントMが部材100に加わった場合、低強度部4b”の長手方向中央の部位が部材の内側に向かって凸となるように折り曲げられる。この際、当然ながら、曲げモーメントMによる曲がりを複数箇所に分散することも、膨出部を形成することも出来ない。さらに言うと、図4の(b)に示すように、折り曲げられた部分の内壁面に、矢印bに示す引っ張り力が加えられる。その結果、低強度部4b”の位置における断面積が小さくなり、曲げに対して弱くなる。そして、変形が単一の低強度部4b”に集中する。したがって、衝撃エネルギーを十分に吸収することが出来ない。
一方、本実施形態の衝撃吸収部材1では、一対の低強度部4b間に高強度部4aを備えたことにより、曲げ部分が外方に向かって膨出するように変形し、そしてエネルギー吸収を圧縮により受け止めるので、十分な耐力を発揮できる。
すなわち、衝撃吸収部材の変形態様としては、図2に示した折れ曲がり変形を複数箇所で起こす蛇行変形の他に、前述した特許文献1等に開示されているような、蛇腹変形によって衝撃エネルギーを吸収する機構がある。蛇腹変形は、部材を構成する各側面の全てにおいて面外変形が発生するものの、部材長手方向の中心線は殆ど曲がらない変形のことを言う。一方、蛇行変形は、部材を構成する各側面のうちの一面を主体に面外変形が発生し、なおかつ、部材長手方向の中心線も曲がる変形のことを言う。
これに対し、本実施形態に係る衝撃吸収部材1では、図2に示したように、高強度部4aを間に挟んで一対の低強度部4bを配置することで、変形態様が蛇行変形となるように制御している。このような制御を行うことにより、上述したような外乱が生じても衝撃エネルギーを安定して吸収することが可能となる。
本実施形態の衝撃吸収部材1は、フランジ部2cを有してかつ長手方向に垂直な断面形状が、ハット頂部となるウエブ部2aを有するハット型の成形体(ハット型部材)2と、フランジ部2cに接合されてかつウエブ部2aに対向する板状部材3と、を有する。そして、ウエブ部2a及び板状部材3のうちの板状部材3である壁部1dに変形誘導部4が設けられている。この変形誘導部4は、壁部1dにおいて相対的に座屈耐力が高い高強度部(第1高強度部)4aと、相対的に座屈耐力が低くてかつ前記長手方向に沿って見た場合に高強度部4aを間に挟む両側に配置された一対の低強度部4bと、を有する。さらに、この衝撃吸収部材1は、前記長手方向に沿って見た場合に、一対の低強度部4bのそれぞれに隣接するように変形誘導部4の両側に配置され、各低強度部4bに対して相対的に座屈強度が高い一対の高強度部(第2高強度部)7を有する;
したがって、この衝撃吸収部材1によれば、衝撃が加わった際に想定通りの曲げ変形をさせつつ衝撃エネルギーの高い吸収能力を発揮することができる。
上記衝撃吸収部材1によれば、一対の低強度部4b間を確実に離間させることができるので、各低強度部4bにおいて起こる曲げ変形を相互に干渉させることなく、分散して起こすことが可能になる。
上記衝撃吸収部材1によれば、曲げ変形位置の限定と、同変形位置における確実な曲げ変形とを両立させることが可能となる。
上記衝撃吸収部材1によれば、プレス加工等の簡易な手段で適切な形状寸法のビード部5を適切な位置に形成することができるので、ビード部5による補強範囲及び補強程度を精度良く設定することが可能となる。
このように、一対のビード部5a,5bの両端に隣接する領域を平坦な未加工領域とすることで、一対の低強度部4bを容易に形成することが可能となる。
上記衝撃吸収部材1によれば、ビード部5,6の間に、低強度部4bの位置と長さを容易に設定することが可能になる。
上記衝撃吸収部材1によれば、一対の低強度部4bを、これらの間を互いに離間させたまま曲げ変形させることができる。よって、衝撃エネルギーの吸収をより確実に行うことが可能になる。なお、この効果は、d/t≧2.0、及び、w≧10、のうちの一方を満たせば得られるが、双方を満たせばより確実な効果を期待できる。
上記衝撃吸収部材1によれば、その曲げ変形時に高強度部4aが膨出部として変形し、そしてエネルギー吸収を圧縮により受け止めるので、十分な耐力を発揮できる。よって、一カ所での曲げ変形や、蛇腹変形をする従来構造に比べて、衝撃エネルギーを効果的に吸収することが可能である。
さらには、各ビード部5,6の本数を互いに異なる本数としてもよい。例えば、高強度部4aに設けるビード部5を2本とし、高強度部7に設けるビード部6を1本としてもよく、またはその逆としてもよい。
また、上記実施形態では、変形誘導部4を壁部1dに設けたが、本発明はこの構成のみに限らず、壁部1a~1dのうちの少なくとも一つに変形誘導部4を設ければよい。変形誘導部4を複数の壁部に設ける場合、例えば、衝撃吸収部材1を一方向へ屈曲させるのであれば、この屈曲させる方向に並んで互いに対向する2つの壁部のそれぞれに変形誘導部4を設けてもよい。この場合、変形誘導部4を設けない他の壁部については、平坦(例えば、平面まま)であることが好ましい。
また、変形誘導部4の位置は、壁部1dの長手方向中央位置のみに限定されるものではなく、長手方向の一方側または他方側に偏った位置に設けてもよい。
次に、図5を参照しながら本発明の第2実施形態について以下に説明する。図5は、図1の(b)に相当する図である。なお、以下の説明においては、上記第1実施形態との相違点を中心に説明し、その他構成については上記第1実施形態同じであるとして重複説明を省略する。
本実施形態の衝撃吸収部材11は、複数の壁部1a~1dのうち、板状部材3から構成される壁部1dのみに、変形誘導部14が備えられている。この変形誘導部14は、相対的に座屈耐力が高い高強度部14a(第1高強度部とも称す)と、高強度部14aよりも相対的に座屈耐力が低い一対の低強度部14bとから構成されている。これら高強度部14a及び低強度部14bは、壁部1dの長手方向に沿って配列されている。高強度部14aは、壁部1dの長手方向において一対の低強度部14b間に挟まれて配置されている。壁部1dにおいて、変形誘導部14は、壁部1dの長手方向において一対の高強度部7(第2高強度部とも称す)に挟まれるように配置される。低強度部14bは、高強度部14aと高強度部7に挟まれるように配置されることにより、壁部1d全体において、相対的に座屈耐力が小さい領域となる。
高強度部14aには、互いに平行でかつ衝撃吸収部材11の長手方向に沿って延在する2本のビード部15,17が存在している。一方、低強度部14bが占める領域には、ビード部17のみが存在している。また、ビード部15の長手方向両側には、間隔を空けて別のビード部16が設けられている。
本発明の第3実施形態に係る衝撃吸収部材21を図6に示す。図6は、図1の(b)に相当する図である。なお、以下の説明においては、上記第1実施形態との相違点を中心に説明し、その他構成については上記第1実施形態同じであるとして重複説明を省略する。
ビード部25とビード部27は相互に離間しており、これらビード部25,27間は平坦な未加工部分となっている。同様に、ビード部26とビード部28は互いに離間しており、これらビード部26,28間は平坦な未加工部分となっている。ビード部25とビード部27は同一直線上にあり、同様に、ビード部26とビード部28も同一直線上にある。そして、ビード部25及びビード部27と、ビード部26及びビード部28とは、互いに平行をなしている。また、ビード部25,26は、壁部1dの長手方向中央において、互いに平行に並ぶ部分を有している。ビード部25,26が平行に並ぶ中央部分が、高強度部24aとなる。
ビード部25及びビード部27間の未加工部分を含んでかつ図6のY方向に沿って延在する1つの領域が、一対の低強度部24bのうちの一方とされている。この、一方の低強度部24b内には、ビード部25及びビード部27が存在しないものの、ビード部26は存在している。
また、ビード部26及びビード部28間の未加工部分を含んでかつ図6のY方向に沿って延在する1つの領域が、一対の低強度部24bのうちの他方とされている。他方の低強度部24b内には、ビード部26及びビード部28が存在しないものの、ビード部25は存在している。
各ビード部25~28は、壁部1dの壁面から衝撃吸収部材21の外側に向けて突出している。各ビード部25~28を壁部1dの長手方向に垂直な断面で見た場合の形状は、上記第1実施形態で説明したビード部5,6と同じである。
この構成によれば、図6の衝撃吸収部材21の一端部1e1に衝撃荷重が印加されると、上記第1実施形態の場合と同様に、変形誘導部24において折り曲げられて変形する。変形する際は、変形誘導部24が形成された壁部1dが曲げの内側となるように変形する。このように、変形誘導部24において折り曲げ変形が起きることにより、衝撃荷重のエネルギー吸収がなされる。
次に、図7を参照しながら本発明の第4実施形態について以下に説明する。なお、以下の説明においては、上記第1実施形態との相違点を中心に説明し、その他構成については上記第1実施形態同じであるとしてその説明を省略する。
本実施形態の衝撃吸収部材61には、複数(図示の例では3つ)の変形誘導部64A,64B,64Cが備えられている。すなわち、板状部材3で構成される壁部1dに変形誘導部64Aが備えられ、成形体2のウエブ部2aからなる壁部1aに、2つの変形誘導部64B、64Cが備えられている。変形誘導部64A~64Cのそれぞれは、衝撃吸収部材61の長手方向に沿って相互に離間して配置されている。
また、壁部1dには、一対のビード部66が、2組、設けられている。これら2組のうちの一方は、一対の低強度部64bの一方と前記一端部1e1との間に延在している。また、前記2組のうちの他方は、一対の低強度部64bの他方と前記他端部1e2との間に延在している。壁部1aにおいては、変形誘導部64Bにおける一対の低強度部64bの一方に隣接して前記一端部1e1に至るように延在するビード67と;変形誘導部64Bにおける一対の低強度部64bの他方と、変形誘導部64Cにおける一対の低強度部64bの一方との両方に隣接するように、壁部1aの長手方向に延在するビード部67と;変形誘導部64Cにおける一対の低強度部64bの他方に隣接して他端部1e2に至るように延在するビード67と;が設けられている。各ビード部65と各ビード部66、あるいは各ビード部65とビード部67は、各低強度部64bを挟んで互いに対応する延長線上に並んで配置されている。
衝撃吸収部材61の長手方向に沿って見た場合、壁部1dに設けられた高強度部64aよりも、壁部1aに設けられた高強度部64aの方が相対的な長さが短くなっている。一方、低強度部64bについては、壁部1a及び壁部1dの双方において同じ長さ寸法となっている。
なお、変形誘導部64Aにおける高強度部64aの耐力Fを求める際の辺は、2本のビード部65の間にある1辺w1と、各ビード部65から壁部1dの幅方向両端までの断面形状における2辺w2との合計3辺である。一方、低強度部64bにおける辺は、壁部1aまたは1dの幅方向に沿う1辺w5である。
本実施形態の衝撃吸収部材61は、複数の壁部1a~1dで形成された一方向に長い筒形状を有する。これら複数の壁部1a~1dのうちの互いに対向する一対である壁部1a,1dのそれぞれに、前記一方向に沿って見た場合に互いに離間した部位に変形誘導部64A~64Cが設けられている。そして、これら変形誘導部64A~64Cのそれぞれが、相対的に座屈耐力が高い高強度部64aと、相対的に座屈耐力が低くてかつ前記一方向に沿って見た場合に高強度部64aを間に挟む両側に配置された一対の低強度部64bと、を有する。
そして、壁部1dには、変形誘導部64Aの各低強度部64bに隣接する一対のビード部66を有する高強度部(第2高強度部)64dが形成されている。また、壁部1aには、変形誘導部64B,64Cの各低強度部64bに隣接するビード部67を有する高強度部(第2高強度部)64dが形成されている。
したがって、この衝撃吸収部材61によれば、衝撃が加わった際に想定通りの曲げ変形をさせつつ衝撃エネルギーの高い吸収能力を発揮することができる。
上記構成によれば、衝撃吸収部材61を蛇行状に変形させることができるので、衝撃荷重のエネルギー吸収量をより高めることが可能となる。
すなわち、図7に示すように、本実施形態の衝撃吸収部材61は、互いに対向する一対の壁部1a,1dのうちの一方である壁部1dに設けられた、一方の変形誘導部64Aと、他方である壁部1aに設けられてかつ一方の変形誘導部64Aに対して前記一方向に沿って見た場合に隣り合う他方の変形誘導部64B,64Cとを有する。そして、前記一方向に沿って見た場合に、一方の変形誘導部64Aに設けられた高強度部64aの中央位置と、他方の変形誘導部64B,64Cそれぞれに設けられた一対の低強度部64bのうち、前記一方の変形誘導部64Aに設けられた高強度部64aに近い方にある低強度部64bの中央位置と、の前記一方向に沿った離間距離をL2(mm)とし、一方の変形誘導部64Aが設けられた壁部1dと他方の変形誘導部64B,64Cが設けられた壁部1aとの距離をH(mm)とした場合に、L2≦6.0×Hを満たすことが好ましい。
したがって、衝撃吸収部材61を設定通りに蛇行変形させながら効果的に衝撃エネルギーを吸収することが可能になる。
上記構成によれば、まず0.8×H≦L3とすることで、一対の低強度部64bのうちの一方の曲げ変形と他方の曲げ変形とが融合して実質的に一節の曲げになってしまうのを、防ぐことができる。さらに、L3≦2.0×Hとすることで、曲げ変形が起きる場所を狭い領域に限定することができ、これにより高強度部64aによる曲げ変形箇所の分散機能を高めることができる。
したがって、変形誘導部64A~64Cのそれぞれにおいて、効果的に衝撃エネルギーを吸収することが可能になる。
上記構成によれば、C≦0.6×Hとすることで、各低強度部64bそれぞれの位置における座屈耐力を適度に弱めて曲げ変形を確実に起こすことが可能となる。
上記構成によれば、プレス加工等の簡易な手段で適切な形状寸法のビード部65を適切な位置に形成することができるので、ビード部65による補強範囲及び補強程度を精度良く設定することが可能となる。
この構成によれば、ビード部65とビード部66との間隔、そしてビード部65とビード部67との間隔により、低強度部64bの位置と長さを精度良く設定することが可能になる。
上記衝撃吸収部材61によれば、その曲げ変形時に、変形誘導部64Aの高強度部64aが膨出部として変形し、そしてエネルギー吸収を圧縮として受け止めるので、十分な耐力を発揮できる。よって、一カ所での曲げ変形や蛇腹変形する従来構造に比べて、衝撃エネルギーを効果的に吸収することが可能である。
上記第1実施形態~第3実施形態の説明において示した衝撃吸収部材1,11,21の、衝撃エネルギーの吸収性能について調べた結果を以下に説明する。なお、これら衝撃吸収部材1,11,21の性能評価に際しての比較対象として、図8及び図9に示す衝撃吸収部材101,201を用いた。

また、高強度部4a,14a,24aの壁部1dの長手方向に沿う長さを、対向する壁部1d,1a同士の間隔(ハット高さH)の0.8倍以上2.0倍以下の範囲とすることで、一対の低強度部4b,4b間(又は一対の低強度部14b,14b間、又は、一対の低強度部24b,24b間)を確実に隔てることができるため、各低強度部4b,14b,24bにおいて起こる曲げ変形を相互に干渉させることなく分散して起こすことができた。
また、低強度部4b,14b,24bの長さCが30mm以下(C≦0.6×H)なので、曲げ変形が起きる場所を特定の箇所に限定することができ、これにより高強度部4a,14a,24aによる曲げ変形箇所の分散機能をより高めることができた。
また、各ビード部5,6,15~17,25~28の高さを壁部1dの厚みの2.0倍以上とし、幅を10mm以上とすることも、高強度部4a,14a,24a及び低強度部4b,14b,24bにおける座屈耐力の差を有意差あるものにする上で効果的であった。
低強度部の数による衝撃エネルギー吸収性能への影響を調べるために、図12~図17の各形態について数値解析を実施した。なお、図12,図14,図15,図17が比較例を示し、図13及び図16が発明例を示す。

・各ビード部304の寸法と配置:各ビード部304の寸法は、幅10mm×高さ5mm×長さ335mmとなっている。そして、幅方向に並ぶ1対のビード部304の幅方向中央位置間の間隔は90mmとなっている。また、低強度部304bは、衝撃吸収部材301の長手方向中央の1箇所に位置し、前記長手方向に沿った長さが30mmとなっている。
すなわち、この衝撃吸収部材311においては、同衝撃吸収部材311の幅方向に並んでかつ互いに平行な1対のビード部314が長手方向に沿って3組、2つの低強度部314bを間に挟んで形成されている。各低強度部314bは、ビード部314が形成されておらず、補強されていない平坦(例えば、平板のまま)となっている。
したがって、板状部材313の長手方向中央部には、長さ100mmの一対のビード部314からなる1つの高強度部314aと、この高強度部314aを間に挟むように配置された平坦(例えば、平板まま)である一対の低強度部314bと、を備えた変形誘導部314Aが設けられている。そしてさらに、一対の低強度部314bに隣接して衝撃吸収部材311の一端及び他端に至る長さ270mmのビード部314が4本設けられており、これらが第2高強度部を構成している。
衝撃吸収部材321における2本のビード部324は、両方とも、幅10mmで高さ5mmである。そして、これらビード部324の幅方向中央位置間の間隔は90mmである。両ビード部324は、板状部材323の一端から他端にかけて連続して形成されているので、低強度部が形成されていない構成となっている。
図16に示す衝撃吸収部材341は、ハット頂部をなす壁部341dにビード部342を設けた点以外、各部構成及び各部寸法は衝撃吸収部材311と同じである。図16において、衝撃吸収部材311と同一構成要素には同一符号を付し、重複説明を省略する。なお、ビード部342は、幅10mmで高さ5mmであり、衝撃吸収部材341の一端から他端にかけて連続して形成されている。
図17に示す衝撃吸収部材351は、ハット頂部をなす壁部351dにビード部352を設けた点以外、各部構成及び各部寸法は衝撃吸収部材321と同じである。図17において、衝撃吸収部材321と同一構成要素には同一符号を付し、その説明を省略する。なお、ビード部352は、幅10mmで高さ5mmであり、衝撃吸収部材351の一端から他端にかけて連続して形成されている。
これに対し、以下では、ビード部を平行配置しない場合や、低強度部をなす間隔の長手方向位置を互いに隣り合うビード部間で相互にずらした場合について調べた。すなわち、図18~図21の各形態について数値解析を実施して対比した。

衝撃吸収部材411のビード部414は、幅10mmで高さ5mmである。ビード部414は、板状部材423の幅方向中央の一端から他端にかけて連続して延在しており、低強度部が形成されていない構成となっている。
衝撃吸収部材421のビード部424は3本有り、それらの全てが幅10mmで高さ5mmである。これらビード部424は、板状部材423の幅方向中央の一端から他端にかけて同一直線上に並べられており、なおかつ板状部材423の中央近傍部分において長手方向30mmの間隔が2箇所、空けられている。そして、これら2つの間隔の間に挟まれるようにして、3本のビード部424のうちで中央に位置するものが配置されている。したがって、板状部材423の長手方向中央部には、1つの高強度部424aと、この高強度部424aを間に挟むように配置された一対の低強度部424bと、を備えた変形誘導部424Aが設けられている。そしてさらに、一対の低強度部424bに隣接して板状部材423の一端及び他端に至るビード部424が2本設けられており、これらが第2高強度部を構成している。前記間隔は、補強されていない平坦(例えば、平板のまま)となっており、低強度部424bを形成している。
この衝撃吸収部材431においては、同衝撃吸収部材431の幅方向に並んでかつ互いに平行な1対のビード部434が長手方向に沿って2組、間隔を空けて形成されている。前記間隔は、補強されていない平坦(例えば、平板のまま)となっている。
ビード部434は、長さ270mmのものが2本と、長さ400mmのものが2本との合計4本有り、それらの全てが、幅10mmで高さ5mmとなっている。互いに平行をなすように隣り合う位置関係にある各ビード部434の幅方向中央位置間の間隔は90mmである。そして、長さ270mmのもの1本と、長さ400mmのもの1本とが30mmの間隔を空けて同一直線上に並んでおり、このような組み合わせが2組、互いに平行をなして隣り合うように形成されている。ただし、前記間隔については、衝撃吸収部材431の長手方向に沿った位置が相対的にずれており、このずれた部分が、高強度部434aとなっている。
したがって、板状部材433の長手方向中央部には、1つの高強度部434aと、この高強度部434aを間に挟むように配置された一対の低強度部434bと、を備えた変形誘導部434Aが設けられている。

衝撃吸収部材451のビード部454は、幅10mmで高さ5mmである。ビード部454は、壁部441aの幅方向中央の一端から他端にかけて連続して延在しており、低強度部が形成されていない構成となっている。
衝撃吸収部材461のビード部464は、3本有り、それらの全てが幅10mmで高さ5mmである。これらビード部464は、壁部461aの幅方向中央の一端から他端にかけて同一直線上に並べられており、なおかつ中央近傍部分において長手方向30mmの間隔が2箇所、空けられている。そして、これら2つの間隔の間に挟まれるようにして、3本のビード部464のうちで中央に位置するものが配置されている。したがって、壁部461aの長手方向中央部には、1つの高強度部464aと、この高強度部464aを間に挟むように配置された一対の低強度部464bと、を備えた変形誘導部464Aが設けられている。
衝撃吸収部材471の壁部471aには、その長手方向の一端から他端にかけて1本のビード部475が設けられている。また、衝撃吸収部材471の板状部材473には、4本のビード部474が設けられている。
ビード部475は、長さ700mm、幅10mm、そして高さ5mmである。
一方、ビード部474は、長さ270mmのものが2本と、長さ400mmのものが2本との合計4本有り、それらの全てが、幅10mmで高さ5mmとなっている。互いに平行をなすように隣り合う位置関係にある各ビード部474の幅方向中央位置間の間隔は90mmである。そして、長さ270mmのもの1本と、長さ400mmのもの1本とが30mmの間隔を空けて同一直線上に並んでおり、このような組み合わせが2組、互いに平行をなして隣り合うように形成されている。ただし、前記間隔については、衝撃吸収部材471の長手方向に沿った位置が相対的にずれており、このずれた部分が、高強度部474aとなっている。前記間隔は、補強されていない平坦(例えば、平板のまま)となっている。
したがって、板状部材473の長手方向中央部には、1つの高強度部474aと、この高強度部474aを間に挟むように配置された一対の低強度部474bと、を備えた変形誘導部474Aが設けられている。
衝撃吸収部材の板状部材と同板状部材に対向するハット頂部との双方に、ビード部を設けるとともに、これらビード部のそれぞれに平坦領域(ここでは、平板ままの未加工部分)を残した場合において、各未加工部分の長手方向に沿った離間距離による衝撃エネルギー吸収性能への影響を調べた。すなわち、図26に示す離間間隔L2を変えながら数値解析を実施した。
そして、板状部材503には、同板状部材503の幅方向に並んでかつ互いに平行な1対のビード部504が長手方向に沿って3組、2つの低強度部505bを間に挟んで形成されている。各低強度部505bは、ビード部504が形成されておらず、補強されていない平坦(例えば平板のまま)となっている。
したがって、板状部材503の長手方向中央部には、長さ100mmの一対のビード部504で構成される1つの高強度部505aと、この高強度部505aを間に挟むように配置された平坦(例えば平板まま)である一対の低強度部505bと、を備えた変形誘導部505Aが設けられている。そしてさらに、一対の低強度部505bに隣接して板状部材503の一端及び他端に至るビード部504が2本、設けられており、これらが第2高強度部を構成している。
・衝撃吸収部材501の全長:1200mm
・各部の幅:壁部501dは160mm、壁部501aは90mm、フランジ部502cは20mmである。
・成形体502の高さH:50mm
・ビード部504,505の寸法と配置:全て幅10mmで高さ5mmである。高強度部505aとなる部分の長さは100mm、低強度部505bとなる未加工部の長さは20mmである。同じく低強度部として形成された変形誘導部505B,505C(未加工部)の長さも、それぞれ20mmである。
一方、表5の試料番号25,26に示すように、離間距離L2が300mmを超えると衝撃エネルギー吸収性能が下がることが確認された。すなわち、L2/Hで言うと、6.0を超えた場合に、衝撃エネルギー吸収性能が下がることが確認された。
以上の結果より、L2/Hとしては6.0以下を採用することが好ましいと判明した。
・衝撃吸収部材511の全長:1200mm
・各部の幅:壁部511dは160mm、壁部511aは90mm、フランジ部512cは20mmである。
・成形体512の高さH:50mm
・ビード部514,515の寸法と配置:全て、幅10mmで高さ5mmである。高強度部515aとなる部分の長さは100mm、低強度部515bとなる未加工部の長さは20mmである。同じく低強度部として形成された未加工部となる変形誘導部515B,515Cの長さも、それぞれ20mmである。
一方、表6の試料番号32,33に示すように、離間距離L2が300mmを超えると衝撃エネルギー吸収性能が下がることが確認された。すなわち、L2/Hで言うと、6.0を超えた場合に、衝撃エネルギー吸収性能が下がることが確認された。
以上の結果より、図27に示す衝撃吸収部材511においても、L2/Hとしては6.0以下を採用することが好ましいと判明した。したがって、衝撃エネルギー吸収性能の観点では、ビード部の本数よりも離間距離L2の大きさの方が支配的であることが表5,6の結果より確認された。
変形誘導部における高強度部の長さによる衝撃エネルギー吸収性能への影響を調べるために、図28に示す形態について、高強度部525aの長さL1を変えながら数値解析を実施した。
そして、板状部材523には、同板状部材523の幅方向に並んでかつ互いに平行な1対のビード部524が長手方向に沿って3組、2つの低強度部525bを間に挟んで形成されている。各低強度部525bは、ビード部524が形成されておらず、補強されていない平坦(例えば、平板のまま)となっている。その結果、壁部521dの長手方向中央位置には、1つの高強度部525aを間に挟んで一対の低強度部525bが形成された変形誘導部525Aが設けられている。
・衝撃吸収部材521の全長:700mm

以上説明の試料番号34~40では、板状部材523に2本のビード部524を設ける一方、壁部521aにはビード部を設けない場合について確認した。これに対し、以下では、図29に示すように、板状部材533及び壁部531aの双方に3本ずつビード部534,535を設けた衝撃吸収部材531について数値解析を実施した。その際、板状部材533の長手方向中央に設けた高強度部535aの長さL1を変えた場合の、衝撃エネルギー吸収性能への影響を調べた。
そして、板状部材533に、その幅方向中央位置において、長手方向の一端から他端に向かって3本のビード部534が一直線上に並んで形成されている。互いに隣り合う各ビード部534間には20mmの間隔が設けられており、その部分だけ補強されていない平坦(例えば、平板のまま)となっている。その結果、壁部531dの長手方向中央位置には、1つの高強度部535aを間に挟んで一対の低強度部535bが形成された変形誘導部535Aが設けられている。
また、板状部材533に対向する壁部531aにも、その幅方向中央位置において、長手方向の一端から他端に向かって3本のビード部535が一直線上に並んで形成されている。互いに隣り合う各ビード部535間には20mmの間隔が設けられており、その部分だけ補強されていない平坦(例えば、平板のまま)となっている。
・衝撃吸収部材531の全長:1200mm
・各部の幅:壁部531dは160mm、壁部531aは90mm、フランジ部532cは20mmである。
・成形体532の高さH:50mm
・ビード部534,535の寸法と配置:ビード部534,535の全てが、幅10mmで高さ5mmである。
各ビード部534の長さは、長手方向中央にある1本のビード部534がL1(mm)、その他2本のビード部534が、1/2×(1200-L1-20×2)(mm)、となっている。
一方、ビード部535においては、衝撃吸収部材531の長手方向に沿って見た場合、各変形誘導部535Bの位置が、前記低強度部535bの位置と重ならないように配置されている。そして、衝撃吸収部材531の長手方向に沿って見た場合、各変形誘導部535Bの中央位置は、前記高強度部535aの中央位置に対して250mm、相対位置がずれている。
変形誘導部における低強度部の長さによる衝撃エネルギー吸収性能への影響を調べるために、図30に示す形態について、低強度部604bの長さCを変えながら数値解析を実施した。
・衝撃吸収部材601の全長:700mm
・各部の幅:壁部601dは140mm、壁部601aは80mm、フランジ部602cは20mmである。

・ビード部604の寸法と配置:全て幅10mmで高さ5mmである。壁部601aの幅方向中央を一端から他端にかけて3本が一直線上に並んで配置されている。そして、互いに隣り合うビード部604間には、長手方向にC(mm)の未加工部分が設けられている。そして、この一対の未加工部分の間に挟まれるようにして、各ビード部604のうちの中央位置のものが配置されている。したがって、壁部601aの長手方向中央部には、1つの高強度部604aと、この高強度部604aを間に挟むように配置された一対の低強度部604bと、を備えた変形誘導部604Aが設けられている。そしてさらに、一対の低強度部604bに隣接して壁部601aの一端及び他端に至るビード部604が2本設けられており、これらが第2高強度部を構成している。
上述の図20に示した衝撃吸収部材421の構成を用いて、ビード部の高さd(mm)及び幅w(mm)と、このビード部が設けられた壁部の板厚t(mm)とに関する好適な形状寸法を調べるために、d/t比とwとの組み合わせを変えながら数値解析を実施した。すなわち、衝撃吸収部材421の3本のビード部424の高さd(mm)を板状部材423の板厚t(mm)で除算したd/t比を1.2~4.0の範囲で変更し、さらに3本のビード部424の幅w(mm)を5mm~50mmの範囲で変更した。その他各部寸法は、衝撃吸収部材421と同じである。
上記条件の下での解析結果を、表10に示す。
さらに、上述の図20に示した衝撃吸収部材421の構成を用いて、その長手方向に沿った高強度部424aの長さL1(mm)と、変形誘導部424Aが設けられた板状部材423と同板状部材423に対向する壁部との距離をH(mm)としたときの、L1及びHに関する好適な比率を調べた。すなわち、H=50mmとして、L1を20~250mmの範囲で変えながら数値解析を実施した。
上記条件の下での解析結果を、表11に示す。
上記条件の下での解析結果を、表12に示す。
