The effect of five different stirring times of friction stir spot welding on lap-shear specimens of Al 6061-T6 alloy has been experimentally analyzed. The welding condition with 2 s of stirring shows the optimum mechanical behavior in comparison to the others. The static strength and fatigue behavior of the joint are justified using the microhardness profiles. The static results prove that the increase of stirring time beyond the 2 s case has little effect on improving the static strength. The fatigue results reveal two different failure modes, which are shear fracture at high load levels and transverse crack growth at low load levels. At medium load levels, although the final failure is similar to high load levels, the transverse growth of the crack outside the welding zone, just like low load levels, is also observed.

This paper reports the results obtained in a study on the effect of the addition of TiO2 nanoparticles on the mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics of photocatalytic concretes. In the hardened state, tests to determine the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity were carried out. Also, microstructural aspects of the samples were investigated. In the fresh state, the influence of the addition of TiO2 on the concrete compaction and conduction calorimetry curves was evaluated. The results obtained indicated a better mechanical and microstructural behavior of concrete with addition of TiO2.

The interesting properties of Al 6061 aluminum foams have boosted the research on the correlation between foam composition and morphology and its mechanical response under dynamic conditions. In this study, ingots of an Al 6061-T4 foam were sectioned and analyzed in order to determine their microstructural and morphological characteristics, and then quasi-static and dynamic tests (10−3 to 3 × 102 s−1) were carried out to determine the material mechanical behavior. Dynamic tests, carried out by using the split Hopkinson bar, highlighted that the studied foam is characterized by a very good energy absorption capability, due to its ductile behavior. Nevertheless, the conducted research showed that cell morphology and distribution affect its mechanical behavior in dynamic conditions in which localized cell collapse may result in a decreased energy absorption and efficiency of the foam.
