The present disclosure provides a strip flatness prediction method considering lateral spread during rolling. The method includes: step 1: acquiring strip parameters, roll parameters and rolling process parameters; step 2: introducing a change factor of a lateral thickness difference before and after rolling and a lateral spread factor by considering lateral metal flow, and constructing a strip flatness prediction model based on the coupling of flatness, crown and lateral spread; step 3: constructing a three-dimensional (3D) finite element model (FEM) of a rolling mill and a strip, simulating strip rolling by the 3D FEM, extracting lateral displacement and thickness data of the strip during a stable rolling stage, calculating parameters of the strip flatness prediction model based on the coupling of flatness, crown and lateral spread; and step 4: predicting the flatness of the strip by the strip flatness prediction model based on the coupling of flatness, crown and lateral spread.

The present invention discloses a method for channel decoupling of a whole-roller flatness meter for a cold-rolled strip. The method includes the following steps: 1, setting a channel number and a channel breadth of the flatness meter; 2, obtaining an influence matrix under the condition of coupled channels; 3, calculating an inverse matrix of the influence matrix; 4, decoupling the channel by the inverse matrix of the influence matrix; and 5, obtaining flatness distribution after channel decoupling. The present invention decouples the channel of the whole-roller flatness meter by inverting the influence matrix and multiplying with the detection force vector. The present invention reproduces the true force vector and flatness distribution, and provides a new method for improving the flatness detection accuracy.
