    Abstract: In the present invention, a method for joining members involves preparing a steel component having a bottom wall in which a hole is provided, and a hollow aluminum pipe. The aluminum pipe is slipped through the hole in the steel component and passed through the bottom wall, rubber is inserted into the interior of the aluminum pipe, and the rubber is compressed in the direction of the axis (L) of the aluminum pipe and induced to distend towards the outside from the inside. As a result of the foregoing, at least a section of the aluminum pipe slipped through the hole is induced to undergo expansion and is joined by clinching to the bottom wall. This method for joining members reduces the load on the members, improves the joint strength, and enables two members to be joined at reduced cost.

    Abstract: A structure for a vehicle, includes: one side structure made of steel and located on one of outer and inner sides of a vehicle body; and another side structure located on the other of the outer and inner sides of the vehicle body and joined to the one side structure. The another side structure includes: a top portion made of an aluminum alloy and protruding toward the other side; wall portions respectively extending from both end parts of the top portion to the one side, each wall portion being made of an aluminum alloy; and a tab portion attached to an end part of the wall portion, extending toward an outside of the another side structure, and joined to the one side structure, the tab portion being made of steel.
