Excavator is a construction machine which is widely used for various constructions, mining and agricultural work. For easy excavating of tool into soil it's necessary that the digging force offered by tool must be greater than the resistive force offered by soil. Design of excavator bucket is a challenging work because it's a first part which comes in contact with soil. Various forces are acting on the bucket which resists the motion of bucket into the soil. This paper focuses on factor affecting the resistive force, also the resistive force offered by stiff soil to the bucket has been designed, and Digging forces are calculated as per SAE standard, Effect of various parameters on resistive force has been discussed for horizontal and uneven digging condition.

Now a days the IC Engines are widely used. Connecting rod is used to connect the piston to the crankshaft. As it plays very important role its analysis should be carried out. In this presented work connecting rod of two-wheeler is modeled using CATIA v5 R21 software. After modeling of connecting rod it is made available for analysis in ANSYS. In the ANSYS Workbench static analysis of connecting rod is performed. Analysis is performed for different materials like Cast iron, Copper alloy, Silicon anisotropic, Structural steel and Titanium alloy to find Von misses stress coming on the connecting rod. From above analysis it is shown that Titanium alloy is most suitable material for the two wheeler connecting rod.
