Abstract: Let Omega0 denote the unit ball of mathbbRN (Nge2) centered at the origin. We suppose that Omega0 contains a core, given by a smaller concentric ball D0, made of a (possibly) different material. We discover that, depending on the relative hardness of the two materials, this radial configuration can either be a local maximizer for the torsional rigidity functional E or a saddle shape. In this paper we consider perturbations that simultaneously act on the boundaries partialD0 and partialOmega0. This gives rise to resonance effects that are not present when partialD0 or partialOmega0 are perturbed in isolation. A detailed analysis of the sign of the second order shape derivative of E is then made possible by employing the use of spherical harmonics.
