Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle hood structure capable of both raising the energy absorbing ability when an impacting body has impacted a hood and enhancing deformation properties of the hood during a frontal collision. A framework formation section configuring a central region in a hood inner panel is provided with beads and indented portions formed to extend along the hood front-rear direction. Plural through holes are formed at a hood front-rear direction substantially central portion of the framework formation section in a row along the hood width direction. The through holes are formed in bottom portions of the indented portions. Beads are also formed in the two hood width direction edge portions in positions aligned with the hood front-rear direction positions of the through holes.
