Abstracts: The connecting rod is the intermediate member between the piston and the Crankshaft. Its primary function is to transmit the push and pull from the piston pin to the crank pin, thus converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion of the crank. Existing connecting rod is manufactured by using steel. This project describes modeling and analysis of connecting rod. In this project connecting rod is replaced by Aluminum reinforced with Boron carbide. A 2D drawing is drafted from the calculations. A parametric model of connecting rod is modeled using PRO-E 4.0 software. Analysis is carried out by using ANSYS software. The best combination of parameters like Von misses stress and strain, Deformation, Factor of safety and weight reduction for two wheeler piston were done in ANSYS software. Compared to steel, aluminium boron carbide. Aluminum boron carbide have less weight compared to steel & stiffness is lesser than steel
