Finite Element Analysis of Drive Axle Housing with ANSYS Workbench

UG software was used to build the entity model for light truck driving axle housing, imported the model to ANSYS Workbench collaborative simulation software, and analyzed the stress after meshing and loading. It can be seen that the maximum equivalent stress of the drive axle housing under various conditions was less than the allowable stress value, and the evaluation index of vertical bending static strength experiment is Kn > 6, meeting the strength requirement; In the condition of full loads, the maximum deformation of the per-meter center distance is: 0.1 mm/m < 1.5 mm/m, also meeting the rigidity requirement; The experimental study is used to verify the analysis results referring the relative articles, shows that analysis results are reliable. This process provides reference for other driving axle housing and similar structure finite element analysis.
