A vehicle body rear structure includes a floor pan, a subframe, an impact absorbing memberprovided behind the subframe, a bracketfor detachably attaching the impact absorbing member, and an extension memberprovided to face a rear end portionof the impact absorbing member. The impact absorbing memberhas a first extending portionalong a lower surfaceof the floor panand a second extending portionthat extends forward with respect to the floor pan. The extension memberextends above the impact absorbing memberin the vertical direction.

Vehicle body rear structure

The vehicle body rear structure includes a floor panel, a subframewhich is provided below the floor panel, an impact absorbing memberwhich is provided behind the subframeand extends in the front-rear direction, and a bracket which detachably attaches the impact absorbing memberto a lower surface of the floor panel. The front end portionof the impact absorbing memberis disposed to be at the same height as the subframein the vertical direction and is disposed with the spacing S from the subframein the front-rear direction.

A bumper cross member for a motor vehicle is produced from an extruded hollow profile and has a front side forming an impact side, a rear side in opposition to the front side, end zones configured for connection to the motor vehicle, a central zone extending between the end zones and bent toward the impact side, and top and bottom sides connecting the rear side with the front side. Each of the top and bottom sides has a projecting flange which is separated from the rear side by a separation cut configured to end shy of the end zones so that the flanges are connected with the bumper cross member in the end zones.

The vehicle body includes: a pair of left and right rear side members extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle body, and a rear bumper beam which extends in a left-right direction of the vehicle body to be coupled to each rear side member at both ends, and bulges rearward toward a center of the left-right direction. The rear bumper beam has an intermediate body extending in the left-right direction at the center of the left-right direction, and inclined bodies which are displaced forward as expanding to the left and right toward the respectively corresponding rear side member from both ends of the intermediate body. A rearward surface of the intermediate body includes a vertical surface, and an inclined surface which is continuous from at least either an upper end or a lower end of the vertical surface and is displaced forward as separating from the vertical surface.

A vehicle rear structure includes a side sill joined to a rear frame via an outrigger, a sub-frame mounted on the rear frame from below, and a fuel tank mounted on the sub-frame. The sub-frame is provided with a load transmitting member that opposes the outrigger. An impact load applied to the sub-frame is transmitted to the outrigger via the load transmitting member. The transmitted impact load is distributed to the two components, the rear frame (specifically, front frame section) and the side sill via the outrigger.

A collision load is appropriately absorbed even in a case that the collision load is intersectionally input from the oblique rear with respect to the vehicle longitudinal direction. Plural first to sixth corner portions provided at the rear end of an extension are arranged such as to be located at respective different positions along the vehicle longitudinal direction, wherein the first corner portion located at the vehicle transverse inner upper end is located the rearmost, and wherein the first to sixth corner portions and first to sixth edge lines, which form the rear end of the extension, are provided such as to be located at the rear in a spiral form from the first corner portion toward the vehicle front in order.

A structure for a vehicle body rear portion, absorbing an impact load applied to the vehicle body rear portion. The structure for a vehicle body rear portion includes: left and right girder sections () which rise upward from a rear panel () provided at the vehicle body rear portion and which are deformable by an impact load applied to the rear panel; and left and right upper girder sections () which are connected to the upper ends () of the lower girder sections (), extend toward the front of the vehicle up to left and right roof side rails (), are configured to have higher strength than the lower girder sections, and transmits the impact load to the roof side rails. Left and right girder stiffeners () are provided so as to reinforce the girder joint sections () between the lower girder sections and the upper girder sections.

Progress management of analysis task is performed in CAE analysis. A system is provided in which a plurality of terminal apparatusesA,B andC storing an analysis procedure of CAE analysis as a program are connected to a management apparatusmanaging a state of progress of CAE analysis via a communication network N. The management apparatusgenerates progress management information in which an analysis task of CAE analysis is divided into a plurality of steps and transmits the progress management information to each of the terminal apparatusesA,B andC. Each of the terminal apparatusesA,B andC transmits to the management apparatusprogress state information of analysis task for one or a plurality of steps allocated to the terminal apparatus at a predetermined timing in accordance with the received progress management information. The management apparatusuniformly manages a progress state of CAE analysis task performed by the terminal apparatusesA,B andC in association with each other by aggregating the progress state information transmitted from the terminal apparatusesA,B andC.

A vehicle body rear part structure improved against rear-side collisions is disclosed. The rear part of a vehicle body includes left and right rear side frames; a front cross member and a rear cross member, both extending between the left and right rear side frames; and a bar and a bracket. The rear cross member has arm support parts for supporting lower arms of left and right rear suspensions on a center part which is lower than lateral ends of the vehicle body. The bar is curved in a convex manner toward the bottom of the vehicle body, and the bar connects center parts of the front and rear cross members together. The bracket mounts a rear end of the bar to the rear cross member while enclosing the rear end from the bottom of the vehicle body.

A rear frame structure for a vehicle is disclosed, wherein an impact load can be satisfactorily absorbed in the case of a collision with a rear surface of the vehicle. The rear frame structure includes a pipe-shaped impact-absorbing member located between left and right rear frames. The impact-absorbing member has a center pipe that has a V shape in plan view, formed so as to protrude backward. The impact-absorbing member has left- and right-side pipes extending from the center pipe linearly upwardly to left and right end pipes. The impact load applied to the center pipe causes the left- and right-side pipes to undergo compressive deformation in their axial longitudinal directions as well as bending deformation towards the front of the vehicle body, whereby the impact load is absorbed.
