The tension spring computer model is designed to minimize the weight of a tension spring. The three inputs to the computer model are the wire diameter (x1), mean coil diameter (x2), and the number of active coils (x3).
The tension spring weight is subject to four constraints on the shear stress, surge frequency, and deflection.
Usage
tension(x1, x2, x3)
Value
The evaluation of running the tension spring computer model at input (x1, x2, x3).
obj: A scalar objective function value
con: A vector of constraint function values
Arguments
x1
A scalar value between 0.05 and 2, inclusive, controlling the wire diameter.
x2
A scalar value between 0.25 and 1.3, inclusive, controlling the mean coil diameter.
x3
A scalar value between 2 and 15, inclusive, controlling the number of active coils.
