Abstract
A stamped beam for a vehicle door with improved structural strength while minimizing added weight to the vehicle. The beam includes a corrugated beam body with integral end brackets for mounting the beam in the vehicle door. The beam body has a sinusoidal cross-sectional configuration with a longitudinal valley allowing the entire beam to be stamped from an integral metal blank forming the mounting brackets. For additional strength, a tubular center member is welded within the longitudinal valley. The tube acts as a tuning mechanism by altering the thickness of the tube wall according to the application of the beam.
