ABSTRACT:
An energy-absorbing fastened structure includes first and second platelike members which are tightly fastened by a fastener having a shaft portion. The shaft portion is passed through first and second through holes which are mated with each other and respectively formed through the first and second members. The first member is formed with an energy-absorbing means for absorbing a heavy shock load which exceeds a predetermined magnitude and is applied to the fastened structure. The absorbing means is to be deformed by the shaft portion which is forced to move together with the second member relative to the first member. With this, damages to the second member is prevented or at least minimized.
