Abstract
A front body structure includes a pair of side membersand a strength adjusting mechanismarranged on a forward areaF of each side member. By the strength adjusting mechanismit is established that a maximum stress generated in a front part of each one of imaginary sections Ia-Ie continuing in the longitudinal direction of the forward areaF becomes more than or close to a maximum stress generated in a rear part of the each one of imaginary sections. As a result, when the collision load is inputted to the front end of the side memberobliquely from the front, a collapse is induced from the front end of the forward areaF toward the rear. Then, the collapse is transmitted to the rear part of the areaF continuously, enhancing the absorbing efficiency of the collision energy.
