Abstract
A hood inner panel for a vehicle includes a first member configured to bend upon a collision of the vehicle, and a second member configured to bent and disposed behind the first member. The first and second members respectively include a first protrusion and a second protrusion that protrude downward. The first protrusion includes a central section that extends in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle from a center in the vehicle width direction and an outer section that extends outward in the vehicle width direction from an outer edge of the central section in the vehicle width direction and that has a backward inclination angle that increases as a position thereof is nearer to outside in the vehicle width direction. The second protrusion extends in the vehicle width direction and at least partly overlaps the outer section of the first protrusion in the vehicle width direction.
