Background technology
[0002]
　Conventionally, as a skeleton member of an automobile, a member obtained by processing a metal plate-shaped member into a predetermined cross-sectional shape has been used. These skeleton members are required to be lightweight and have a sufficient load capacity. Therefore, in recent years, a material having high strength such as a high-strength steel plate may be used. On the other hand, when an impact due to a collision is applied to a product having a skeleton member, the skeleton member is required to realize a desired deformation mode and efficiently absorb the impact.
[0003]
　Patent Document 1 below describes a technique for controlling the cross-sectional shape of a shock absorbing member of an automobile in order to change the shock absorbing characteristic. That is, in the shock absorbing member, a groove is provided in the web of the hat member, and the depth of the groove and the width of the groove are changed so as to have a predetermined ratio.

Mode for carrying out the invention
[0011]
　The present inventors have diligently studied to further improve the shock absorption characteristics. As a result,
(1) the impact absorption characteristics can be enhanced by providing a recess having an appropriate shape in the flat plate portion of the skeleton member which is a high-strength material having a Vickers hardness of 330 Hv or more, and
(2) the skeleton member provided with the recess. In the above, since the stress when deformed by receiving an impact is concentrated on the ridgeline portion of the recess, further excellent impact absorption characteristics can be realized by increasing the Vickers hardness of the ridgeline portion with respect to the flat plate portion, and
(3) the ridgeline portion. If the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion is too high compared to the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion, the impact absorption energy cannot be increased due to the breakage from the boundary portion due to the hardness difference at the boundary between the ridgeline portion and the flat plate portion. , And
arrived at the present invention.
　Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the present specification and the drawings, components having substantially the same functional configuration are designated by the same reference numerals, so that duplicate description will be omitted.
[0012]
　<1. 1st Embodiment>
　[Rough configuration of skeleton member]
　First, with reference to FIG. 1, a partial structure of an example of the skeleton member according to the 1st embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view showing an example of a skeleton member according to the present embodiment.
[0013]
　As an example, the skeleton member 10 extends in the Y direction shown in FIG. 1 as the longitudinal direction, and has a substantially hat shape having a cross section (XX plane) orthogonal to the longitudinal direction open in the X direction. Is. As an example, the skeleton member 10 has a flat plate portion 11, a vertical wall portion 13 as a wall portion extending from the flat plate portion 11 via a bent portion, and a side opposite to the flat plate portion 11 side of the vertical wall portion 13. It includes a flange portion 15 that is bent outward from the end portion. Further, the flange portion 15 is welded to the plate-shaped member 40 so that the skeleton member 10 can form a closed cross section. The flat plate portion 11 is formed with a recess 20 protruding from the flat plate portion 11 toward the inside of the closed cross section of the skeleton member 10. The recess 20 is formed in a groove shape along the longitudinal direction of the skeleton member 10 (Y direction shown in FIG. 1).
[0014]
　The skeleton member 10 may be composed of various metal plate-shaped members. In particular, the skeleton member 10 may be made of a steel plate. As an example, steel materials having a tensile strength of 1.2 GPa class, 1.5 GPa class, 1.8 GPa class, and 2.5 GPa class can be mentioned. The Vickers hardness of the central portion of the thickness of the steel sheet having these tensile strengths is 330 Hv or more when the test load is 1 kgf (9.8 N) in the hardness test carried out by the method described in JIS Z 2244: 2009. be. The skeleton member 10 can be formed by applying various processing techniques, which are known techniques, to a metal plate-shaped member (blank material). As an example, the skeleton member 10 may be formed by forming a plate-shaped member into a predetermined shape by cold drawing press working. The plate thickness of the skeleton member 10 is preferably 0.4 mm or more and 2.5 mm or less from the viewpoint of required shock absorption characteristics and weight reduction.
[0015]
　[Structure of Recess]
　Next, the configuration of the recess 20 of an example of the skeleton member 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line XX showing an example of the skeleton member according to the present embodiment, and is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II'in FIG. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the recess 20 in the XX plane cross section showing an example of the skeleton member according to the present embodiment.
[0016]
　As shown in FIG. 2, the recess 20 is a substantially rectangular (groove-shaped) portion formed in the flat plate portion 11 and opened in the X direction in FIG. Since the skeleton member 10 has the recess 20, the maximum bending moment in the XZ plane cross section is increased, so that the proof stress of the skeleton member 10 is improved, and the shock absorption characteristic of the skeleton member 10 is also improved.
[0017]
　As shown in FIG. 3, the recess 20 has a pair of wall portions 21a, 21b and a bottom portion 23. The pair of wall portions 21a and 21b are bent from the flat plate portion 11 via the ridge line portion 30 and project toward the inside of the closed cross section of the skeleton member 10. Further, the bottom portion 23 extends so as to connect between the tip portions of the pair of wall portions 21a and 21b in the extending direction toward the inside of the closed cross section. The recess 20 has a predetermined shape including a predetermined width L 0 , a length L 1 of an inner peripheral wall in an XZ plan cross-sectional view, and a predetermined depth α.
[0018]
　Here, as described above, the recess 20 contributes to the improvement of the shock absorption characteristic in the skeleton member 10, but the present inventors have found that the shape of the recess 20 has a great influence on the improvement of the shock absorption characteristic. .. In particular, the present inventors have a predetermined relationship between parameters related to the shape of the recess 20 such as the width L 0 , the length L 1 of the inner peripheral wall , and the depth α when the recess 20 is viewed in an XZ plane cross section. Has been found to affect the improvement of shock absorption characteristics.
[0019]
　Here, the width L 0 of the recess 20 and the length L 1 and the depth α of the inner peripheral wall in the XZ plane cross-sectional view are the respective surface positions of the recess 20 and the flat plate portion 11 on the outside of the closed cross section as follows. It can be represented by the length of each part of the recess 20 geometrically obtained from.
　Specifically, the surface position of the flat plate portion 11 a virtual straight line L extending in the Z direction 2 and the surface position of the wall portion 21a, the virtual straight line L was extended in the extending direction of the wall portion 21a 3 of the Let the intersection be point A.
　The virtual straight line L of the surface position of the bottom 23 is extended in the Z direction 4 and the virtual straight line L was extending the surface position of the wall portion 21a in the extending direction of the wall portion 21a 3 point an intersection point between B And.
　The surface position of the bottom 23 virtual straight line L was extended in the Z direction 4 and the virtual straight line L was extending the surface position of the wall portion 21b in the extending direction of the wall portion 21b 5 and the intersection point C between ..
　The surface position of the flat plate portion 11 a virtual straight line L extending in the Z direction 2 and the virtual straight line L was extending the surface position of the wall portion 21b in the extending direction of the wall portion 21b 5 to the intersection point D between ..
[0020]
　At this time, the distance between the point A and the point D is L 0, and the length of the bending line connecting the point A to the point D via the point B and the point C is L 1 . Further, a virtual straight line L 2 in which the surface of the flat plate portion 11 extends in the Z direction and a virtual straight line L 4 in which the surface position of the bottom portion 23 extends in the Z direction are arranged in the X direction at a position intermediate between the widths L 0. Let the length of the straight line L 6 connected to the depth α be the depth α.
[0021]
　From the cross-sectional image of the skeleton member 10, a virtual straight line extending each surface position outside the closed cross section of the recess 20 and the flat plate portion 11 is calculated based on a known image analysis method, and the intersections thereof are calculated. The above intersection is required.
[0022]
　In the skeleton member 10 according to the present embodiment, the recess 20 has a shape in which the depth is 5 mm or more and the value of (L 1 − L 0 ) / L 0 is 0.18 or more and 2.8 or less. .. Hereinafter, the shape of the recess 20 will be described in detail.
[0023]
　The present inventors show the relationship between parameters related to the shape of the recess 20 by changing the length L 1 (mm), the width L 0 (mm), and the depth α (mm) of the bending line in the recess 20. The value of (L 1 − L 0 ) / L 0, which is a value, was adjusted, and the shock absorption characteristics of the skeleton member 10 were evaluated. The results are shown in Table 1. The impact absorption characteristics were evaluated by a three-point bending test using a hat-shaped member having a top plate width of 80 mm, a vertical wall height of 80 mm, and a length in the lumber direction of 800 mm. In the process of pushing R with an impactor of 50 mm, the reaction force to the impactor was measured by a load cell, and the value of [reaction force] × [stroke of impactor] was taken as the absorbed energy. Then, based on the value of the absorbed energy of the test piece obtained by the test piece having the depth of the recess of 0.5 mm, the absorbed energy of the material obtained from the test piece having the recesses of various depths is relatively evaluated. bottom. When the absorbed energy is 1.5 times or more of the reference value, it is evaluated as A, when it is 1.2 times or more of the reference value, it is evaluated as B, and when it is below the reference value, it is evaluated as C in three stages. , B was used as the acceptance criterion.
[0024]
[table 1]

[0025]
　The Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11 of the skeleton member 10 was 350 Hv, and the plate thickness of the flat plate portion 11 was 1.2 mm. As a result, excellent shock absorption is achieved in a skeleton member having a recess 20 having a depth of 5 mm or more and a recess 20 having a shape in which the value of (L 1 − L 0 ) / L 0 is 0.18 or more and 2.8 or less. It was found to exhibit characteristics.
　The reason why excellent shock absorption characteristics cannot be exhibited when the value of (L 1 − L 0 ) / L 0 is larger than 2.8 is that when the recess 20 is formed in the skeleton member 10, the thickness of the recess 20 is formed. It is presumed that this is because the absorbed energy becomes smaller and the absorbed energy when deformed by an impact is reduced.
　As the plate thickness of the recess 20 becomes thinner, the maximum bending moment of the skeleton member 10 in the XX plane decreases. This has a great influence when the skeleton member 10 thinned by using a high-strength material having a Vickers hardness of 330 Hv or more at the center of the plate thickness is applied as the vehicle body skeleton member.
[0026]
　Therefore, when the value of (L 1 to L 0 ) / L 0 is larger than 2.8, the absorbed energy becomes smaller and the maximum bending moment also decreases, so that the shock absorbing characteristics of the skeleton member 10 are fully exhibited. Will not be done. In other words, if the value of (L 1 − L 0 ) / L 0 is 2.8 or less, the plate thickness in the recess 20 is secured and the shock absorption characteristics of the skeleton member 10 are sufficiently exhibited. ..
[0027]
　On the other hand, when the value of (L 1 − L 0 ) / L 0 is smaller than 0.18, the improvement of the maximum bending moment in the XX plane by the recess 20 becomes small, and the proof stress of the skeleton member 10 improves. It turned out that it would not. Therefore, when the value of (L 1 − L 0 ) / L 0 is 0.18 or more, the proof stress of the skeleton member 10 can be further improved by the recess 20, and excellent shock absorption characteristics can be exhibited.
[0028]
　As described above, from the results shown in Table 1, the value of (L 1 − L 0 ) / L 0 , which is a parameter related to the shape of the recess 20, is 0.18 ≦ (L 1 − L 0 ) / L 0 ≦ 2. By satisfying the relational expression of 0.8, the shock absorption characteristics of the skeleton member 10 are fully exhibited.
[0029]
　Further, in particular, the value of (L 1 − L 0 ) / L 0 , which is a parameter related to the shape of the recess 20, may be set to 1.8 or less. As a result, the plate thickness of the recess 20 after molding is further secured, the absorbed energy at the time of deformation of the skeleton member 10 is increased, and the impact characteristics can be further improved.
[0030]
　Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 4, the relationship between the shape of the recess 20 and the shock absorption characteristic will be described with respect to the relationship between the value of the depth α of the recess 20 and the value of the maximum bending moment in the XX plane of the skeleton member 10. FIG. 4 is a graph showing the relationship between the depth α of the recess 20 and the maximum bending moment.
[0031]
　As shown in FIG. 4, for example, when the width L 0 is 15 mm, as the value of the depth α is increased, the maximum bending moment of the skeleton member 10 also increases. In particular, the maximum bending moment when the depth α is 5 mm or more is greatly increased as compared with the value of the maximum bending moment when the depth α is 5 mm or less. Therefore, when the value of the depth α is 5 mm or more, the effect of increasing the maximum bending moment in the skeleton member 10 can be greatly obtained.
[0032]
　After that, as the value of the depth α increases, the maximum bending moment also increases, but when the value of the depth α reaches 20 mm, it can be seen that the effect of increasing the maximum bending moment is hardly obtained. Therefore, the value of the depth α may be 20 mm or less, and in that case, it is not necessary to increase the depth α more than necessary.
[0033]
　Further, as shown in FIG. 4, when the width L 0 is 20 mm and 25 mm, the same tendency as the result when the width L 0 is 15 mm is observed.
[0034]
　The width L 0 is preferably 80 mm or less in order to reduce stress concentration on the bottom.
　Further, it is preferable that the ratio of the width L 0 to the width along the surface position of the bottom portion 23 is 0.70 or more and 1.20 or less in order to reduce stress concentration.
[0035]
[Relationship between Ridge Line Hardness and Flat Plate Part Hardness]
　Subsequently, the hardness of the ridge line part 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a state of deformation of the skeleton member 10 according to the present embodiment when an impact load is input.
[0036]
　As shown in FIG. 5, it is assumed that the impact load P is input to the flat plate portion 11 of the skeleton member 10 from the direction perpendicular to the plane of the flat plate portion 11 (see the arrow in FIG. 5). In this case, the recess 20 and the flat plate portion 11 are deformed by the impact load P. An analysis was performed to investigate the stress distribution in the skeleton member 10 at the time of this deformation. Based on the analysis results, FIG. 5 is shown so that the higher the stress region, the higher the concentration of point hatching. As shown in FIG. 5, it was found that when the impact load P was input to the flat plate portion 11, high stress was generated in the ridgeline portion 30. That is, it was found that the ridge line portion 30 largely shares the load when the impact load is input to the flat plate portion 11 of the skeleton member 10.
[0037]
　Therefore, the present inventors have studied to improve the impact absorption characteristics of the skeleton member 10 by controlling the hardness of the ridge line portion 30. The relationship between the hardness of the ridge line portion 30 and the maximum bending moment of the XX plane of the skeleton member 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.
[0038]
　First, the definitions of the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 and the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is an enlarged XZ plan sectional view of a region including the flat plate portion 11 and the ridgeline portion 30 of the skeleton member 10 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the ridge line portion 30 is provided between the flat plate portion 11 and the recess 20, and connects the flat plate portion 11 and the wall portions 21a and 21b of the recess 20. The ridge line portion 30 is a region surrounded by R stop points R3, R4, R5, and R6 shown in FIG. The Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 is the Vickers hardness at the intermediate position C2 between the R stop points R3 and R4 on the flat plate portion 11 side and the R stop points R5 and R6 on the concave portion 20 side in the ridge line portion 30.
[0039]
　Further, the flat plate portion 11 is a region extending between the recess 20 and the vertical wall portion 13. As shown in FIG. 6, the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11 is the R stop points R1 and R2 on the flat plate portion 11 side of the bent portion connecting the flat plate portion 11 and the vertical wall portion 13, and the ridge line portion 30. R The Vickers hardness at the intermediate position C1 between the stop points R3 and R4 (the position at a distance W equal to the points R1 and R2 and the points R3 and R4).
[0040]
　The hardness measurement conditions are as follows. A cross section perpendicular to the plate surface of the sample including the recess 20 of the skeleton member 10 is sampled, a sample of the measurement surface is prepared, and the sample is subjected to a Vickers hardness test. The method for preparing the measurement surface is carried out according to JIS Z 2244: 2009. After polishing the measurement surface with # 600 to # 1500 silicon carbide paper, a mirror surface is finished using a diluted solution such as alcohol or a liquid in which diamond powder having a particle size of 1 μm to 6 μm is dispersed in pure water. The Vickers hardness test is carried out by the method described in JIS Z 2244: 2009. The Vickers hardness of the sample on which the measurement surface is prepared is measured using a Micro Vickers hardness tester with a test load of 1 kgf (9.8 N).
[0041]
　Further, the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11 and the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 are the depths in the plate thickness direction from the surfaces of the flat plate portion 11 and the ridge line portion 30, respectively, at a depth corresponding to 1/8 of the plate thickness. The Vickers hardness of the position. The Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 is the Vickers hardness on the outer side of the bend.
[0042]
　The Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11 is at least 330 Hv or more. The Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11 as used herein means the Vickers hardness of the region of the flat plate portion 11 excluding the recess 20. Further, the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11 may be 410 Hv or more. The upper limit of the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11 is 550 Hv.
[0043]
　Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 7, it will be described that the maximum bending moment is improved when the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 is improved with respect to the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11. FIG. 7 is a graph showing the relationship between the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 and the value of the maximum bending moment in the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 with respect to the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11.
[0044]
　As shown in FIG. 7, first, when the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 and the flat plate portion 11 are the same (Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 / Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11 = 1), the maximum bending moment obtained is set to 1. And. In FIG. 7, since the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 is 1 with respect to the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11, as the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 increases, the value of the maximum bending moment also gradually increases. That is, by improving the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30, the maximum bending moment of the skeleton member 10 is also improved.
[0045]
　Here, the maximum bending moment of the thin-walled structural member increases as the material strength (Vickers hardness) used for the structural member increases, but on the other hand, the range (effective width) (that is, the collision) that bears the stress at the time of collision The area responsible for the stress during deformation) is shrinking. Therefore, when the material strength exceeds a predetermined value, the increase in the maximum bending moment tends to stabilize. In the skeleton member 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, when the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 is 1.06 times or more the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11, the increase in the maximum bending moment ratio is stabilized. This makes it easier to secure the amount of shock absorption. On the other hand, in the range where the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 is smaller than 1.06 times the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11, the maximum bending moment ratio increases substantially linearly. Therefore, it is desirable that the skeleton member 10 is used under the condition that the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 is 1.06 times or more the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11 and the maximum bending moment ratio is sufficiently increased. Thereby, the value of the maximum bending moment can be improved, and the impact absorption characteristic of the skeleton member 10 can be improved. The Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11 here means the Vickers hardness of the region of the flat plate portion 11 excluding the recess 20.
　Further, when the ratio of the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 to the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11 is 1.20 times or less, breakage from the boundary portion due to the hardness difference between the ridge line portion 30 and the flat plate portion 11 occurs. It is possible to secure a high level of maximum bending moment while suppressing it. Therefore, the upper limit of the ratio of the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 to the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11 is 1.20 times.
[0046]
　The ridge line portion 30 is generally harder than the flat plate portion due to work hardening. However, even if a steel plate having a hardness exceeding 330 Hv is formed into the shape of the present embodiment only by increasing the hardness due to work hardening, the Vickers hardness of the ridge portion 30 is 1.06 times or more the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11. That is difficult.
　Further, when the hardness is adjusted by partial quenching, the hardness of the ridge line portion is excessively improved, and it becomes difficult to reduce the hardness to 1.20 times or less. In this case, the hardness difference between the ridge line portion 30 and the flat plate portion 11 becomes excessively large, breakage occurs from these boundary portions, and the impact absorption energy may not be increased. Therefore, in order to control the ratio of the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 to the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11 to 1.06 to 1.20, it is preferable to adjust the hardness of the ridge line portion by hardening by work-induced transformation.
[0047]
(Effect of action)
　According to the present embodiment, in a member having a sufficient Vickers hardness of 330 Hv or more in the flat plate portion 11, the depth α of the recess 20 is 5 mm or more, and the shape of the recess 20 is (L 1 −. Since the cross-sectional shape of the skeleton member 10 is made into an appropriate shape by limiting it to a predetermined range by the parameter of L 0 ) / L 0 , the shock absorption characteristics can be further improved. That is, since the recess 20 has a sufficient depth α, the maximum bending moment can be improved and the cross-sectional proof stress can be improved. Further, since the parameter (L 1 to L 0 ) / L 0 related to the shape of the recess 20 is set within a predetermined range, the plate thickness of the recess 20 is secured and the shock absorption energy of the skeleton member 10 is increased. Can be done. When the flat plate portion 11 has a Vickers hardness of 330 Hv or more, out-of-plane deformation is likely to occur in the vertical wall portion 13 or the like of the skeleton member 10, elastic buckling occurs, and it often does not contribute to the impact absorption characteristics. Therefore, elastic buckling is effectively suppressed by providing a recess 20 in which such a parameter (L 1 to L 0 ) / L 0 is set in a predetermined range, and the cross-sectional yield strength of the skeleton member 10 is further improved. Since the shock absorption energy can also be increased, the shock absorption characteristics of the skeleton member 10 can be realized at a higher level.
[0048]
　Further, according to the present embodiment, since the Vickers hardness of the ridge line portion 30 between the recess 20 and the flat plate portion 11 is set to a predetermined value or more with respect to the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11, the impact of the skeleton member 10 The absorption characteristics can be further improved. That is, when a load is input to the flat plate portion 11 of the skeleton member 10, a high stress is generated in the ridge line portion 30, and the load is shared. Therefore, the deformation of the recess 20 can be suppressed by having the ridge line portion 30 have a higher Vickers hardness than the Vickers hardness of the flat plate portion 11. As a result, the maximum bending moment of the skeleton member 10 can be further improved, and the impact absorption characteristics can be further improved.
[0049]
　[Application Example of Skeleton Member According to the Embodiment of the Present

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an automobile skeleton 1 as an example to which the skeleton member 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied. The skeleton member 10 may constitute the automobile skeleton 1 as a cabin skeleton or a shock absorbing skeleton. Examples of application of the skeleton member 10 as a cabin skeleton include roof center reinforcement 201, roof side rail 203, B pillar 207, side sill 209, tunnel 211, A pillar lower 213, A pillar upper 215, kick reinforcement 227, and floor cross member. 229, under-reinforcement 231 and front header 233 and the like can be mentioned.
[0050]
　Further, examples of application of the skeleton member 10 as a shock absorbing skeleton include a rear side member 205, an apron upper member 217, a bumperin force 219, a crash box 221 and a front side member 223.
[0051]
　Since the skeleton member 10 is used as a cabin skeleton or a shock absorbing skeleton, the skeleton member 10 has a sufficient load capacity, so that deformation at the time of collision can be reduced. Further, the skeleton member 10 has improved deformability, and even when an input such as a side collision is input to the automobile skeleton 1, the skeleton member 10 can absorb an impact by sufficient deformation and protect the inside of the skeleton.

　Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to such examples. It is clear that a person having ordinary knowledge in the field of technology to which the present invention belongs can come up with various modifications or modifications within the scope of the technical ideas described in the claims. , These are also naturally understood to belong to the technical scope of the present invention.
[0053]
　For example, in the above embodiment, it is assumed that the flat plate portion 11 is provided with the recess 20, but the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, the recess 20 may be provided not only in the flat plate portion 11 but also in the vertical wall portion 13.
[0054]
　Further, in the above embodiment, the flange portion 15 is welded to the plate-shaped member 40, but the present invention is not limited to such an example. For example, it may be welded directly to the end portion of the vertical wall portion 13 without passing through the flange portion 15. Further, for example, instead of the plate-shaped member 40, the mating member may be a member having a hat-shaped cross section having a flange portion, and the flange portion 15 of the skeleton member 10 may be welded to the flange portion of the mating member.
Industrial applicability
[0055]
　According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a new and improved skeletal member capable of further improving the shock absorption characteristics.
