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 has to work on high r.p.m. because of which it has to bear severe stresses which make its design vital for internal combustion engine. In this paper, a connecting rod for two wheeler is designed by analytical method. On the basis of that design a physical model is created in CATIA V5. Structural system of connecting rod has been analysed using FEA. With the use of FEA various stresses, are calculated for a particular loading conditions using FEA software ANSYS WORKBENCH 14.5. The same work is carried out for different material. Also the thermal analysis of the connecting rod is performed. The obtained results are compared on the basis of various performances with considerable reduction in weight.
