A channel-shaped section has a thin, local reinforcement shell (40,108) separated from the channel-shaped section (22,104) by a layer of structural foam (44). At the reinforced section an arch geometry is utilized which extends in a direction opposite that of the force to which the member is subjected. The arch may be present as the channel-shaped member (22,104), the reinforcement shell (40,108) or both the channel-shaped member and the shell. A portion of the shell (45,110) contacts the channel-shaped member and is attached thereto by welding or other means of attachment. The structural member may be a vehicle bumper (20) or a vehicle door side beam (102), for example. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> |
