Technical characteristics and development trend of the fatigue durability analysis of the whole vehicle were reviewed in the directions. These existing research results were systematically summarized from the research status, signal acquisition, finite element analysis, load spectrum extraction and fatigue life. Wherein, the strengths and weaknesses of the virtual iteration technology was explained in detail, in which the result evaluation standard was mainly composed of relative damage value; and also the characteristics of fatigue damage theory and analysis method were summarized detailedly; additionally, the practical critical plane method possessed the advantages of the measurable component damage values, but this method still needed to be solved the problems of crack propagation direction. Moreover, according to the existing technology and achievements, reducing model errors and road conditions selection will become the development trends of vehicle fatigue durability technology in the future.
