The connecting rod is a major link inside of the combustion engine. It connects the piston to the crankshaft and is responsible for transferring the power from the piston to the crankshaft. It has to work on higher r. p.m. because of which it has to bear severe stresses which make its design vital for the internal combustion engine. In this paper, a connecting rod for two-wheeler is designed by analytical method. On the basis of that the design a physical model is created in Solid Works. Structural system of the connecting rod has been analysed by using Analysis. With the use of Analysis various stresses are calculated for the loading conditions using Analysis software ANSYS WORKBENCH 14.5. The same work is carried out for the Aluminium alloy. The obtained results (Stresses, shear stress, fatigue life based on results concluded the suitable material for connecting are compared. on the basis of various performances with considerable.
