Abstract
In an impact-absorbing member which extends in a vehicle length direction of an automobile and whose both end portions in the vehicle length direction have a collision-side end portion and a non-collision-side end portion whose positions become mutually different when seen from the vehicle length direction, an outer member and an inner member of the impact-absorbing member are formed so that a position of a gravity center at the collision-side end portion and a position of a gravity center at the non-collision-side end portion become mutually different according to a positional relationship between the collision-side end portion and the non-collision-side end portion in order to suppress a tensile stress generated at the collision-side end portion and suppress a compressive stress generated at the non-collision-side end portion in a collision.
