Abstract

A mechanism for shape memory alloys driven by a magnetic field is proposed. The mechanism involves the motion of twin dislocations in response to the application of a magnetic field. As a consequence, twin variants oriented favorably with respect to the magnetic field direction will grow. The maximum pressure that can be exerted at the twin dislocations is when the magnetic field is at angle . The shape memory effect is significantly affected by the presence of impurities, second-phase particles and grain boundaries
