The magnetic shape memory effect can be classified as an example of the multiferroic effect
combining ferro-elasticity and (ferro) magnetism. After short overview of all known effects the …

Full-field measurement techniques are now mature. As such, they have profoundly impacted
the experimental mechanics community in recent years. The way that shape memory alloys …

The large strain in Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloys (FSMA) is due to the martensite
reorientation driven by mechanical stresses and/or magnetic fields. Although most …

Abstract Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloys (FSMAs) exhibit large strains by the magnetic-
field-induced martensite reorientation. But, due to the high-frequency field-induced cyclic …

A bar of single crystal Ni-Mn-Ga shape memory alloy takes the martensitic phase
transformation via the nucleation and propagation of Austenite-Martensite (AM) interfaces …

Abstract A Ni 50 Mn 28 Ga 22 single crystal exhibiting 10M martensitic structure at room
temperature was studied by X-ray diffraction measured in situ under uniaxial tensile stress …

This paper is to improve our previous phase-transformable material constitutive model
(Chen et al., 2014) and implement it in a mass-spring configuration to study the recently …

A phase-field model with a friction-type resistance in the kinetic equation for the martensite
reorientation is proposed to simulate the coupled magneto-mechanical behaviors of …

This study investigates the strain fields developed in two Ni 2 MnGa samples, with fine and
coarse twin structures, respectively when loaded in tension and/or with a magnetic field. The …

With proper magneto-mechanical driving forces (eg, a high-frequency magnetic field plus a
mechanical force), Magnetic Shape Memory Alloy (MSMA) can provide a large cyclic …
