The composite shaft

The composite shaft shown is twisted by applying a torque T at end A. The outer shell consists of a steel tube (G = 76 GPa) that has an outer radius of 35 mm and an inner radius of 30 mm. The solid bronze core (G = 38 GPa) has a radius of 30 mm. The allow

Determine the maximum torque that can be applied to the composite shaft without exceeding either allowable stress limit.
