Abstract
A finite element method (FEM) is used to make the modal analysis of the drive axle housing, the first ten natural frequencies and modal shapes are obtained. The parameter identification method is applied to obtain the experimental modes. There is a great agreement with the calculating modes and the experimental ones, which proves that the finite element method is rational. According to the theoretical analysis, the main deformations are bending and torsion at both ends of the drive axle housing and the deformation of the middle part is relatively high. The natural frequencies are at middle and high frequencies which are close to the mesh frequencies of the drive axle gears. Therefore increasing the thickness and redesigning of stiffened palates are applied to avoid the resonance region effectively.
