Lumped parameter modeling (LPM) combined with optimization techniques is an efficient approach for parametric configuration design of energy absorption to improve crashworthiness performance during train collision. This work proposed a simplified model by introducing a bar element to consider the influence of the carbody in a collision process. The optimization method is applied to calibrate the equivalent parameters of the bar element. Bar elements with calibrated parameters are adopted in establishing a one-dimensional (1D) model for the train crash. Subsequently, a novel crash energy management (CEM) mode with functionally graded energy (FGE) configuration is introduced to the train crash model for improving crashworthiness performance. The influence of parameters in graded function on interfacial force and peak acceleration is investigated and optimal design parameters are obtained by Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II). It is concluded that considering the behavior of the carbody can improve the accuracy of LPM in predicting the longitudinal response, and the gradient CEM is a potential energy configuration mode to improve the crashworthiness of the train in a collision.
