A ductile material is subjected to a tensile test. The yield strength was determined to be 100 MPa. It was initially recommended that a 140-mm-diameter circular shaft, made of the same ductile material, be used as a member that would be subjected to a torque of 30 kN-m. As a future engineer, which of the following changes would you recommend regarding the cross-sectional dimensions? Justify your answer using theories of failure and show your complete solution. a. Increase the diameter b. Decrease the diameter c. Retain the diameter
