Directionally solidified NiMnGa ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) can exhibit
anisotropic elastocaloric effect due to large transformation latent heat release/absorption …

Magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) are interesting materials because they exhibit
large recoverable strain (up to 10%) and fast response time (higher than 1 kHz). MSMAs are …

Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs), such as Ni-Mn-Ga single crystals, can exhibit
the shape memory effect due to an applied magnetic field at room temperature. Under a …

Researchers have attempted to characterize and predict the magneto-mechanical behavior
of magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) for over a decade. However, all prior …

This paper presents a three-dimensional phenomenological constitutive model for magnetic
shape memory alloys (MSMAs), developed within the framework of irreversible continuum …

Abstract Ni _ 2 MnGa Ni 2 MnGa magnetic shape memory alloys have a microstructure
consisting of martensite variants, and magnetic domains exist in each martensite variant. In …

Abstract Ni–Mn–Ga is a ferromagnetic alloy that can exhibit the shape memory effect or
superelasticity in the presence of a magnetic field. The behavior of the material is largely …

A macroscopic phenomenological constitutive model considering the martensite
transformation and its reverse is constructed in this work to describe the thermo-magneto …

Existing experimental results have shown that four types of physical mechanisms, namely,
martensite transformation, martensite reorientation, magnetic domain wall motion and …
