Drive axle housing is one of the major load-supporting components of trucks. This paper takes a drive axle housing of a light commercial vehicle as the research object. The model of the drive axle housing is established by Pro/E software, on the basis of this model, the finite element analysis is carried by ANSYS to get the results of stress and strain under the defined constraints and loads, to find the weak links in the design. Aiming at achieving the goal of the least weight, the permission stress and displacement are defined and the thickness of the drive axle housing is considered as the design variable to optimize the design. The result of optimization design provides a theoretical guidance for truck driving axle housing designing.
