Abstract: The connecting rod is the intermediate member between the piston and the Crankshaft. Its primary
function is to transmit the push and pull from the piston pin to the crank pin, thus converting the reciprocating
motion of the piston into rotary motion of the crank. This thesis describes designing and Analysis of connecting
rod. Currently existing connecting rod is manufactured by using material. In this drawing is drafted from the
calculations. A parametric model of Connecting rod is modeled using NX 10.0 software and to that model,
analysis is carried out by using ANSYS 16.0 Software. Finite element analysis of connecting rod is done by
considering the materials Aluminum 360, Forged Steel, Titanium Alloy, Mild Steel, and Magnesium Alloy. The
best combination of parameters like Von misses Stress and strain, Deformation, Factor of safety and weight
reduction for four wheelers Connecting Rod were done in ANSYS software.
Keywords: Connecting Rod; NX 10.0; Ansys; FEA;
I - INTRODUCTION:
Internal Combustion engine has many parts like cylinder, piston, connecting rod, crank and crank shaft. The
connecting rod is very important part of an engine. Working of the connecting rod is to transmit power of piston
to crank pin. Connecting rod has two ends one is pin end and other is crank end. Pin end is attached with piston.

IX - FUTURE SCOPE
1. When we use this design of connecting rod our component life increase and minimizing maintenance.
2. Vibrational analysis can be done at ansys for minimizing the premature failure.
3. Thermal analysis can be done of connecting rod to minimize the thermal stress effect on connecting rod.
4. Design modification can be done to minimize the weight of connecting rod.
5. Work on the internal coating of hard material inside the both ends can be done to minimize the wear failure
in connecting rod.
