The paper is concerned with radial solutions to the elastic-plastic torsion problem, assuming the free term to belong to Lp(Ω)L^p(\Omega). In particular, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition in order that the plastic region exists and we characterize the free boundary. Moreover, we find the explicit radial solution u∈W2,p(Ω)u \in W^{2,p}(\Omega) and the Lagrange multiplier μ‾∈Lp(Ω)\overline \mu \in L^p(\Omega).
