Connecting rod is the link between the piston and the crank which transmits the push and pull motion from the
piston pin to crank pin. The connecting rod converts the reciprocating motion of the piston to rotary motion of the crank. The
automobile engine connecting rod is critical component. The connecting rod used for the analysis is manufactured by using
forged steel. This paper describes theoretical, FEA and experimental analysis of connecting rod to find out the stress. 2D
drawing of connecting rod is drafted from the calculations. A parametric model of connecting rod is modeled using CATIA
software. Analysis is carried out by using ANSYS software. Parameters like deformation, stress are found and compared.
