Abstract: | The exact solution of the equations of neutral equilibrium is derived. The effect of the discrete arrangement of ribs on the behavior of the characteristics of the stress-strain state with distance from the plate edge is analyzed. The conditions of applicability of the theory of structurally orthotropic plates are formulated. The study was carried out in accordance with Project No. 614 of the Ukrainian Scientific and Technological Center. S. P.
