ABSTRACT:
A rear composite impact beam includes front, rear, top and bottom walls formed from glass fibers encapsulated by a resin. Longitudinal ductile reinforcing members are provided at the intersections of the front wall with the top and bottom walls to enhance flexural strength in a region of the impact beam which receives predominantly tension loads during impact. If desired, similar longitudinal ductile reinforcing members are provided at the intersections of the rear wall with the top and bottom walls and retained by the resin to enhance flexural strength at a region of the impact beam which receives predominately compression loads during impact. If desired, a reinforcing web of woven ductile strands can be provided in at least the rear wall and encapsulated by the resin.
