Abstract
A structural member includes a first member, a second member, and a restricting portion. The first member includes a top plate, vertical walls, flanges, and ridge portions. The second member includes a top plate, vertical walls, flanges, and ridge portions. The vertical walls of the second member are disposed along the vertical walls of the first member inside of the vertical walls. The flanges of the second member are joined to the flanges of the first member, respectively. The restricting portion is provided between the vertical walls of the second member. The restricting portion restricts deformation in which portions of the vertical walls of the first member close to the flanges approach each other.

A structural member for a mobile body having an elongated shape, the structural member comprising:
- a first member including a first top plate, a pair of first vertical walls, a pair of first flanges, and a pair of first ridge portions, and extending in a longitudinal direction of the structural member, the first vertical walls being disposed to face each other, end edges of the first vertical walls being connected to each other by the first top plate, the first flanges being disposed opposite to the first top plate with respect to the first vertical walls and protruding outward relative to the first vertical walls, the first ridge portions connecting the first vertical walls and the first flanges;
- a second member including a second top plate, a pair of second vertical walls, a pair of second flanges, and a pair of second ridge portions, and extending in the longitudinal direction of the structural member, the second top plate being disposed inside of the first vertical walls and facing the first top plate with a space between the second top plate and the first top plate, the second vertical walls being disposed along the first vertical walls inside of the first vertical walls, end edges of the second vertical walls being connected to each other by the second top plate, the second flanges being disposed opposite to the second top plate with respect to the second vertical walls, protruding outward relative to the second vertical walls, and being joined to the first flanges, the second ridge portions connecting the second vertical walls and the second flanges;
- and
- a restricting portion provided between the second vertical walls, and configured to restrict deformation in which portions of the first vertical walls close to the first flanges approach each other, wherein
- the restricting portion is formed of a plurality of beads each of which protrudes from the second top plate in a direction opposite to the first top plate, and each of which extends from one second vertical wall to the other second vertical wall to be connected to the second vertical walls.
