Abstract
Discribed is an impact-absorbing reinforcement structure for center pillars including a high-strength section, a medium-strength section and a low-strength section, divided from each other and integrally formed. The high-strength section is composed of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) formed by impregnating carbon fiber with a resin and is disposed at the upper region of a vehicle center pillar; the low-strength section is composed of a composite material formed by impregnating carbon fiber and olefin-based fiber with a resin, has lower strength than the high-strength section and is disposed at a lower region of the vehicle center pillar; and the medium-strength section is composed of a composite material formed by impregnating carbon fiber and olefin-based fiber with a resin, has strength between the strength of the high-strength section and the low-strength section and is disposed at a central region of the vehicle center pillar.
