Abstract
Hafnium and titanium, along with zirconium, are refractory metals with unique properties suitable for extreme-environment applications. Utilizing alloys based on these elements can provide suitable materials with engineered properties. Understanding their mechanical properties is necessary to determine appropriate applications. This thesis research aims at employing quantum-based atomistic simulations to estimate mechanical properties of pristine hafnium, titanium and an alloy based on these elements. The results are compared to available experimental data and the corresponding implications are explored.
