Abstract: Composite materials are now a day widely used in the engineering field. The general characteristics possessed by the composite materials are found to be the reason for using it in the automotive applications. 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 must work on high RPM because of which it has to bear severe stresses which make its design vital for internal combustion engine. In this project, design, & analysis of the 4wheeler connecting rod is done. The CATIA V5 R21 software has been used for designing the connecting rod 3D model and then the designed connecting rod model is imported into the ANSYS software in which the design is meshed and analyzed by using the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the result is manipulated. Static analysis of existing and composite connecting rod will be performed. Results of the analysis are also validated by using UTM testin
