In this paper, the low-velocity impact and lightweight design of the square conical gradient aluminium foam-filled automobile energy-absorbing boxes (EABes) is numerically studied. Firstly, the validity of the finite element calculation model is verified by comparing with the experimental results. Then, the influences of the conical bottom angle, tube-wall thickness, the number, position, height and depth of induction grooves, and the parameters of gradient foam on the energy absorption properties of the EABes under axial low-velocity impact are studied. After that, the mitigation and energy absorption of square conical gradient aluminium foam-filled automobile EAB are optimised. The results indicate that the aluminium tube-wall thickness has no obvious effect on improving the energy absorption properties of the EAB, and other factors have good effects on improving the energy absorption properties of the EAB. Compared with the constant cross-section EAB before optimisation, the peak impact force (F max) of the finally optimised square conical gradient aluminium foam-filled automobile EAB reduces by 22.4%, and the specific energy absorption (SEA) increases by 59.8%. The investigation is helpful for the design of the square conical gradient aluminium foam-filled automobile EAB.
