✦ Synopsis
Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMA) appear to be very promising active materials because they exhibit giant and fast strains. In this paper, a study of the martensitic transformation is proposed. The pseudoelastic behaviour under pure compression of a Ni 49.7 Mn 27.7 Ga 22.9 single crystal previously measured for five different external temperatures (more than Ms 0 ) by Pons et al. [Proceedings of ICOMAT 02, J. Phys. IV, in press]-compression axes of the initial cubic austenitic phase are 0 0 1 and 1 1 0 -is compared to a model for ferromagnetic shape memory alloy pseudoelastic behaviour. The identification of model parameters permits to fit well the experimental results. Moreover a prediction of initiation surface of phase transformation (austenite → martensite) is proposed for Ni-Mn-Ga polycrystals under biaxial mechanical loadings.

The Ni-Mn-Ga shape memory ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) are prone to fracture during thermal cycling. The present research shows that the primary reason for the thermally induced fracture of Ni-Mn-Ga FSMAs is the increase in the crack tip stress-intensity factor (SIF) due to stress redis
