Abstract

See full text

A method of determining proof stress includes: calculating a needed load needed to completely crush a deformable impact absorption body of a barrier in a range that comes into contact with a rear bumper reinforcement, based on a load needed to completely crush the entire front surface of the impact absorption body, an area of the entire front surface of the impact absorption body, and an area of the front surface of the impact absorption body, which comes into contact with the rear bumper reinforcement; calculating a maximum bending moment acting on the rear bumper reinforcement in a case where the needed load is input; and determining proof stress of a pair of side members to be equal to or greater than the needed load and determining proof stress of the rear bumper reinforcement to be equal to or greater than the maximum bending moment.
