Abstract
There is difference between coefficients of thermal expansion of the first member and the second member. A mismatch occurs between the walls of the first member and the second member when the temperature is changed significantly. Stress generated by this mismatch is distributed among and received by respective fitting sections of respective concave portions and respective convex portions. Because these fitting sections exist above and below the joining member, stress generated by the mismatch is distributed and received by the fitting sections before the stress reaches the joining member. Therefore, only a little stress acts on the joining member.

A coupling structure for coupling two types of members, a first member and a second member, that are different in coefficient of thermal expansion by superposing walls of the first and the second members, and embedding a joining member on respective walls of both the first and the second members, comprising:
- a concave portion and a convex portion which fit with each other, the concave portion being formed in a wall of the first member and the convex portion being formed on a wall of the second member in a peripheral region of the joining member, wherein the joining member extends into the first and second members and is embedded inside both the first and second members.
A coupling structure for coupling two types of members, a first and a second member, that are different in coefficient of thermal expansion by superposing walls of the first and the second members, and embedding a joining member on respective walls of both the first and the second members, comprising:
- a concave portion and a convex portion which fit with each other, the concave portion being formed in a wall of the first member and the convex portion being formed on a wall of the second member in a peripheral region of the joining member, wherein the joining member is shaped like a hook.
A coupling structure for coupling two types of members, a first and a second member, that are different in coefficient of thermal expansion by superposing walls of the first and the second members, and embedding a joining member on respective walls of both the first and the second members, comprising:
- a concave portion and a convex portion which fit with each other, the concave portion being formed in a wall of the first member and the convex portion being formed on a wall of the second member in a peripheral region of the joining member, wherein the first member is an air hose for supplying air to an engine of a vehicle, and the second member is a resonator for reducing column resonance inside the air hose.
A coupling structure for coupling two types of members, a first and a second member, that are different in coefficient of thermal expansion by superposing walls of the first and the second members, and embedding a joining member on respective walls of both the first and the second members, comprising:
- a concave portion and a convex portion which fit with each other, the concave portion being formed in a wall of the first member and the convex portion being formed on a wall of the second member in a peripheral region of the joining member, wherein the convex portion is shaped like a hook.
