The article is divided into three parts. Except the foundations of theoretical knowledges about the fatigue life, the design of the breakdown truck body construction for a particular vehicle is also described in initials. In the second part the stress analysis of this construction is analyzed by finite element method (FEM). Based on this, at the end of the thesis, the fatigue life time is evaluated and compared with the experimental.
