In this study, harmonic response analysis of isotropic elliptically curved thin plate structures has been conducted. The structure has been excited by a harmonic load, whose maximum magnitude is 100 N. The structure has been considered under fixed from both straight edges boundary conditions. The effect of the elliptical geometry on the harmonic response of the structure in terms of the critical frequency region, phase angle, stress, and displacement has been examined. For this purpose, the vertex to co-vertex ratio has been variated from 3 to 4 by 0.1 intervals. All analyses have been performed via ANSYS Workbench by employing the Mode Superposition Method. The results indicated that the elliptical geometry has a significant impact on the harmonic response of elliptically curved thin plate structures.
