ABSTRACT:
A vehicle door is designed to collapse in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle in such a way that in the case of a maximum longitudinal force slightly below that of the most serious accident, longitudinal deformation occurs and the axial supporting force of the vehicle door simultaneously remains as high as possible. To produce this longitudinal deformability, crimps running parallel in the vertical direction are provided in the structural members of the door and in a door well reinforcement.
