SIDE RAIL WALLS FOR BENDING LOADING IN THE EVENT OF A LATERAL IMPACT

摘要

The invention relates to a structure of a rocker panel (1) of a motor vehicle, comprising a floor (3) defined on each side by a rocker panel profiled element (5), at least one transverse wall (13) being arranged inside at least one of the two profiled elements (7). Said wall (13) or at least one of the transverse walls (13) also has an inner edge (13.1) and an outer edge (13.2), the outer edge (13.2) having a minimum height higher than a minimum height of the inner edge (13.1) in such a way as to generate a bending torque, on the floor (3), about a longitudinal direction, in the event of a lateral impact.
