Composite materials are now a day widely used in the engineering field. The general characteristics possessed by the composite materials are found to be the reason for using it in the automotive applications. The connecting rod is a major link inside of combustion engine. It connects the piston] to the crankshaft and is responsible for transferring power from the piston to the crankshaft. It must work on high r.p.m. because of which it has to bear severe stresses which make its design vital for internal combustion engine, so that’s why we are using composite material for testing is carbon fibre. In this project, design, analysis of the 2-wheeler connecting rod will be performed. The CATIA V5 R20 software has been used for designing the connecting rod 3D model and then the designed connecting rod model is imported into the ANSYS software in which the design is meshed and analysed by using the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the result is manipulated. Modal analysis of existing and composite connecting rod will be performed.
