Two variants of a refined theory for calculation of the rectangular orthotropic plates stress-strain state are represented. The plate's state equations are presented in the form three-dimensional equations of elasticity theory. The components of the plate's stress-strain state are received as the polynomial func- tions on the coordinate which is normal to the middle plane. These functions are one or two degree higher than in the Kirchhoff-Love theory are used. The virtual displacements principle is applied to obtain the two-dimensional equations and its natural boundary conditions. The modified boundary conditions for standard cases of the plate mounting are formulated. Calculation of plate stress-strain is carried out by using Laplace transform, and then the number of arbitrary constants in the integration of differential equations systems thus is twice reduced. One of the refined theory distinctive features consist in direct integration of the three dimensional elasticity problems equilibrium equations at transverse normal and tangential stresses determination. As an example, the paper considers the calculation of a rectangular isotropic plate's stress-strain under a local load. The results obtained by the refined theories and by the classical theory are compared. The essential contribution of normal transverse stress of type "boundary layer" to the general stress- strain state of a plate is shown. The received results can be used in calculations and at tests for strength and durability of aviation and space-rocket and also engineering structures of different destination
