The 3D model of THB40 hydraulic retarder shell was established which was based on the Pro/E modeling software. The model was simplified and was introduced to ANSYS Workbench as FEA model by ANSYS-Pro/E data interface. The constraints were imposed on the FEA model for the preceding six modal analysis. The former 6 order natural frequencies and the biggest resonance deformation is obtained to determine whether there are some vibration forms which have unfavorable effects on the vehicle and to avoid resonance phenomenon to appear. At the same time, it provides the reference for the further research of the vibration mechanism of the structure and the vibration suppression technique for practical application.
