Taking hollow steel tube bumper as the prototype, the structure of steel bumper filled with foam aluminum was simplified preliminary. Then the finite element deformations of two bumper structures were analyzed in the same collision condition. And the quality of two bumper structures were calculated and compared. The results show that automobile bumper made of metal tube filled with foam aluminum can improve the cash safety and reduce the quality of the car significantly. This research provides a new way to improve vehicle safety, energy conservation and environmental protection.
