Solving a Version of Sandgren's Compression Spring Design Problem, Corrected Edition

Jsun Yui Wong

The computer program listed below seeks to solve the following problem from p. 116-118 of  the 2017 article by Lu [12]:   

Minimize      .25 * 3.141592654 ^ 2 * X(1) ^ 2 * X(2) * X(3) + .5 * 3.141592654 ^ 2 * X(1) ^ 2 * X(2)

subject to

        (3.141592654) ^ -1 * 1000 * (8 * X(1) ^ -3 * X(2) ^ 2 + 2.92 * X(1) ^ -2 * X(2) - 4.92 * X(1) ^ -1) - 189000 * (X(2) - X(1))<=0,


        8 * (11.5D+06) ^ -1 * 1000 * X(1) ^ -4 * X(2) ^ 3 * X(3) + 1.05 * X(1) * X(3) + 2.1 * X(1) - 14<=0,

        .009 - X(1)<=0,

        X(2) - 4<=0,

        3 * X(1) - X(2)<=0,

         8 * (11.5D+06) ^ -1 * 300 * X(1) ^ -4 * X(2) ^ 3 * X(3) - 6<=0,

        1.25 - 8 * (11.5D+06) ^ -1 * 700 * X(1) ^ -4 * X(2) ^ 3 * X(3)<=0,

         .009<=X(1) <=.5,   

        .6<= X(2) <=4,         

        1<= X(3) <=120,     
   
        where X(1) and X(2) are positive discrete variables and X(3) ls a positive integer variable.

X(4) through X(10) below are slack variables, which are added.

Like Lu [11, p. 23], the following computer program uses discreteness of .002 for X(1) and discreteness of .02 for X(2).  That gives line 67 and line 69, which are
67 A(1) = .009 + INT(RND * 250) * .002 and 69 A(2) = .6 + INT(RND * 170) * .02, respectively.

This BASIC computer program was run with qb64v1000-win [24]. The complete output through JJJJ =  -31996.3200000006 is shown below:

Above there is no rounding by hand; it is just straight copying by hand from the monitor screen.  One can compare the solutions above to the solutions given in Lu [12, Table 7, p. 120] and in Lu [11, Table 8, p. 24].

On a personal computer with a Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5200 @2.50GHz, 2.50 GHz, 960 MB of RAM and qb64v1000-win [24], the wall-clock time for obtaining the output through
JJJJ= -31996.3200000006 was 42 seconds, including the seconds for creating the .EXE file.
