Abstract: A suspension member includes a side rail. The side rail is formed in a closed sectional structure by combining an upper member, a lower member, and a reinforcing member located between the upper member and the lower member. The upper member and the reinforcing member are fixed by welding and form a closed cross section having an upper hollow portion. The reinforcing member and the lower member are fixed by welding and form a closed cross section having a lower hollow portion. A distance from an upper end to a lower end of the upper hollow portion in a vertical direction in the lower bending portion is longer than that in the upper bending portion, and a distance from an upper end to a lower end of the lower hollow portion in the vertical direction in the upper bending portion is longer than that in the lower bending portion.

Abstract: A structural member 10 includes a hat member 1 and a closing plate 2. The length LY of the tubular portion formed by the hat member 1 and the closing plate 2 is 6 or more times the height H of a pair of side walls 11 and 12. Each of the side walls 11 and 12 includes a high-strength portion 11A or 12A and low-strength portions 11B or 12B. The high-strength portion has a yield strength not less than 500 MPa. The low-strength portions have a yield strength of 60 to 85% of that of the high-strength portion. Each high-strength portion extends a distance not less than (⅔)H and not more than 3H as measured in the direction in which the ridges extend, and is provided such that the high-strength portions of the pair of side walls face each other. A pair of low-strength portions sandwich the associated high-strength portion.

Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes an inner sill member, an outer sill member and a first reinforcement bracket. The inner sill member has an inner upper flange, a horizontally extending section and an inner lower flange extending downward from the horizontally extending section. The outer sill member has an outer upper flange and an outer lower flange. The inner upper flange and the outer upper flanges are fixedly attached to one another. The inner lower flange and the outer lower flanges are fixedly attached to one another defining a sill structure with hollow interior. The first reinforcement bracket is disposed within the hollow interior and has an outboard portion fixedly attached to the outer sill member and an inboard portion fixedly attached to the horizontally extending section of the inner sill member.

Abstract: A powered side panel system is used in conjunction with a loading bed found on trailers and other flatbed vehicles. The system includes a side panel having a vertical member. The side panel is configured to pivot about a panel axis in communication with the trailer. A lever arm extends between the side panel and the trailer. The system includes a reciprocating assembly to operate the lever arm between a lowered and raised orientation. The reciprocating assembly communicates with the lever arm through a cable. The lever arm controls the rate of radial motion of the side panel about the panel axis. A control unit is configured to regulate the operation of the actuator device.

Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes: a first frame that is formed of a first material and has a closed cross section; and a second frame that is formed of a second material and has a closed cross section. The first frame and the second frame are aligned with each other in a vehicle longitudinal direction. The second frame has higher tensile strength and is lighter than the first frame. In a front cross-sectional view of the vehicle, a second center associated with the second frame is located on an outer side in a vehicle width direction from a first center associated with the first frame with respect to vehicle center.
