Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide a shock absorbing structure for a vehicle that enables a simple and appropriate tuning of a load displacement characteristic, so that a desired amount of collision energy can be absorbed. In the present invention, each of two side walls which is integrally provided with top wall, to which a shock is applied, has a rectangular wave shape corrugated at a plurality of corrugated sections positioned to be opposed to each other in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the shock is applied. In addition, outer flanges are integrally formed on an end section of each of the side walls, and a slit extending in the direction in which the shock is applied is formed on each of the corrugated sections.
