Abstract: The prime objective of the proposed work is to investigate the effects of different materials of connecting rod over the performance. Hence the current research approached a simulation-based design using Solid works and Ansys workbench 20. The automotive sectors are concentrating on weight reduction strategies, which can be achieved by incorporating new designs, cost-effective production processes, or employing alternative materials. Researchers have been attempting to optimize engine parts including the piston, crankshaft, and connecting rod for a number of years. An essential component of an external combustion engine, the connecting rod is subjected to extreme pressures from forces coming from the piston. It has been noted that the engine's efficiency actually increases as its weight is reduced. The main goal of this research is to introduce new and superior replacement materials for the connecting rod's existing material in order to mass- reduce opportunities for general-purpose connecting rods. The connecting rod in the proposed study was created utilizing silicon carbide, titanium alloy, and aluminium alloy components. The connecting rods made of the new materials were created using the FEM method.
