The paper deals with FEM application in the TATRA 815 lorry frame construction fatigue life estimation. Construction of critical nodes from the fatigue damage point of view was found and analyzed. Analysis of the particular traffic state influence on the fatigue damage cumulation will be presented too.

Keywords: computer simulation, random vibrations, finite element method, fatigue life, cumulative damage prediction
