The invention relates to a determining method of the numerical value of vibration
noise of an axle housing of a drive axle. The method includes the following steps of firstly, establishing a dynamics analysis model of a drive axle
system; secondly, calculating the
vibration response of the drive axle
system under the excitation of different
gear transmission errors; thirdly, calculating a dynamic load of a boundary node of an axle housing bearing; fourthly, calculating the
vibration response of a finite
element model of a complete axle housing body unit; fifthly, calculating the
noise radiation of an axle housing acoustic boundary
element model. The dynamics modeling and calculating of the drive axle
system are realized by means of a
modal comprehensive model containing a nonlinear bearing unit, the obtained axle housing bearing boundary dynamic load is used for calculating the numerical value of the vibration
noise of the complete axle housing finite
element model, the defect that the nonlinear bearing rigidity
coupling of a
transmission system and the axle housing is not considered in an existing method, the axle housing boundary dynamic excitation load can not be accurately obtained, and meanwhile the defect that the calculating result of the vibration noise of the complete axle housing model can not be directly obtained through the
modal comprehensive model is overcome.
