An engine connecting rod is dynamic component of a vehicle, transmitting the axial cyclic motion of piston to the rotational motion of crankshaft. The connecting rod is therefore considered as a key component in terms of the structural durability and efficiency of an engine. Connecting rod is a major link inside of an I.C engine. Its primary function is to transmit the push and pull from the piston pin to the crank pin thus converting the reciprocating motion of piston into rotary motion of the crank. In the present investigation a 4-stroke petrol engine of a specified model, market available connecting rod is selected for the investigation. For present investigation the designed connecting rod is modeled using solid modeling software i.e. catia. The modeled connecting rod imported to the hypermesh for the meshing purpose. Later it is imported to abaqus for analysis. In this analysis four materials are selected and analyzed. The software results of four materials are compared and utilized for designing the connecting rod
