Beam with torsional deformation and multi-geometry cross-section

A beam configured to couple to a vehicle, comprising:

• a first end area comprising a first end midpoint equidistant from a top face and a bottom face on a vertical axis when the beam is positioned on the vehicle;
• a second end area comprising a second end midpoint equidistant from the top face and the bottom face on the vertical axis when the beam is positioned on the vehicle;
• a central area positioned between the first end area and the second end area, the central area having a central area midpoint that is equidistant from the top face and the bottom face on the vertical axis when the beam is positioned on the vehicle and that is positioned in the center of the beam along a longitudinal axis;
• an inner surface;
• and
• an outer surface;
• wherein the longitudinal axis of the beam passes through the first end area and the second end area;
• wherein the central area is capable of rotating about the longitudinal axis when the beam is impacted by an applied force;
• and
• wherein the central area is vertically offset from the end areas such that the central area midpoint is located at a point on the beam that is lower or higher than the end area midpoints.
