The main aim in this project is to modified existing connecting rod design by changing some design parameters to improve weight and cost factor for large production rate. It is concern with structural analysis of connecting rod and crosscheck failure by FEM. This is complete by two steps; first one is structural analysis of connecting rod and second is optimization of material without effect on stress distribution. So first a proper Model is prepared using Pro/E Wildfire 4.0 software. Then static analysis is done to determine the von Misses stress, elastic strain, total deformation in the present design of connecting rod for the given loading conditions using Finite Element Analysis Software ANSYS v 12.In the first part of the study, the static loads acting on the connecting rod, After that the work is carried out for safe design on basis of Factor of Safety. Based on the observations of the load analysis and its results, optimization tool was selected and applied to the current design. Then results of modified or optimized model in ANSYS are crosscheck by stress analysis and F.O.S.
