Description: ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬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 and thus convert the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion of the crankpin our project we design a connecting rod for a four stroke single cylinder engine for three different materials like Gray cast iron and Aluminum alloy. Both the designs are modeled in 3D modeling software catiya v5 /Engineer. Structural analysis is done on the connecting rod to verify the strength of the connecting rod by using Structural steel  and Aluminum alloy by applying the loads finding out stress strain and total deformation for the two different materials. The analysis is done to verify the better material for connecting rod to reduce the cost.
