1 Introduction OSA is a method of estimating the approximate effect that some change in problem parameters has on the optimum design. For example, if materials or design requirements are changed after we have already found an optimum solution to the original problem, we wish to estimate the effect that this will have on the design without actually solving the optimization problem over again. OSA is a method of estimating the approximate effect that some change in problem parameters has on the optimum design. For example, if materials or design requirements are changed after we have already found an optimum solution to the original problem, we wish to estimate the effect that this will have on the design without actually solving the optimization problem over again.

There are two general approaches to the OSA problem: There are two general approaches to the OSA problem: o (1) Base on Kuhn-Tucker conditions. o (2) Use the concept of a feasible direction. In this project, we use the first one to obtain estimated optimum solution of cantilevered beam problem shown below (in the book, Page-184). In this project, we use the first one to obtain estimated optimum solution of cantilevered beam problem shown below (in the book, Page-184).

OSA Algorithm: OSA Algorithm: We only consider the active constraint

Then we can form the matrix: At last, we derive the optimum solution:
