We carry out dimension reduction in the homogenization theory 3D periodicity cell problem for the plate with a unidirectional system of channel cuts. We demonstrate that the original 3D problem may be reduced to several 2D problems. The main attention is paid to the solution near the top and the bottom surfaces of the plate. Our numerical analysis indicates the existence of a new type of boundary layer at the upper and lower surfaces of the plate. We estimate the thickness of the found boundary layer. We also find a wrinkling effect on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate.
