The theory of the critical states of a vortex lattice in type-II superconductors is examined without any assumptions about the relative perpendicularity of the local magnetic fields and circulating currents in the sample. Such a theory has made it possible to solve a number of problems for thin films of superconductors in an external magnetic field oriented perpendicular to their surface: a theory of the shaking effect is constructed for rectangular superconducting plates and the critical states in samples with anisotropic pinning of the flux lines as well as in the presence of an order-disorder phase transition in a vortex lattice are studied. In addition, the critical states in a long superconducting strip in an inclined magnetic field are investigated.
