Abstract
In this study, we numerically implemented the first iteration of a novel phase field based theoretical framework to predict the fracture mechanics of Ni2MnGa MSMAs. The proposed variational phase field fracture mechanics model uses an energy balance framework that accounts for the strain energy (elastic and reorientation), Zeeman and magnetic anisotropy energies, as well as the fracture surface energy. The model predictions are preliminarily validated against experimental data obtained during Vickers micro indentation, while a formal experimental program is developed for traditional tests on crack initiation and growth.
