In this article, vibration characteristics of multilayered plates in a hygrothermal environment are discussed. The analysis considers the reduced properties of the lamina material at high concentrations of moisture and temperature. The multilayered plate is modelled in the context of a refined hyperbolic shear deformation theory that contains hygrothermal effects. The numerical results for dimensionless natural frequencies of multilayered composites under the action of both temperature and moisture concentration are investigated.
