In this paper study the structural analysis is carried out on a connecting rod consists of carbon steel (CS), Aluminium 6061(Al 6061) and Aluminium 6061with boron carbide (Al+B4C) to investigate and compare the performance of connecting rod. A 3D model of petrol engine connecting rod is created using Pro-E software and FE analysis is performed to obtain the variation of deformation, elastic strain, vonmisses stresses under various static and dynamic loads along with boundary conditions. From the results it has been observed that Aluminium 6061(Al 6061) alloy has given better performance in terms of factor of safety (FOS), reduced light weight and minimized the stresses as compared to other materials.
