In the present article, Reddy shear deformation plate theory is employed to investigate the free vibration of vertical laminated composite plates coupled to sloshing liquid. Two different types of composite plate are considered; hybrid composite laminate (HCL) plate, which consists of two types of fiber, and variable stiffness composite laminate (VSCL) plate, which is made of curvilinear fibers. The applied Reddy shear deformation theory introduces a nonlinear through-thickness distribution for the transverse shear stress, and it satisfies the zero stress conditions at the bottom and top surfaces of the plate. The sloshing fluid, which is partly in contact with the plate, is modeled as ideal, and the bulging and sloshing modes related to that are calculated using the fluid velocity potential. The interaction between fluid and solid is modeled through the continuity equation and boundary conditions at the fluid–solid interface. To extract the vibrational characteristics of the structure coupled to fluid, a polynomial approximation based on the Rayleigh-Ritz method is employed. After validating the proposed methodology, a parametric study is conducted to show the effects of various parameters associated with the fluid and structure on the natural frequencies of the system.
