A phase-field model was developed to simulate the ferromagnetic domain structure and martensite variant microstructure of Ni-Mn-Ga shape-memory alloy. The evolution of reversible magnetic-field-induced strain (MFIS) and associated magnetic domain/martensite variant structure were modeled under an external magnetic field. It was found that MFIS increased significantly from 0.2% to 0.28% as the temperature increased from 265 K to 285 K. In addition, compressive pre-stress efficiently enhanced the MFIS of the alloy, while tensile stress reduced MFIS. Furthermore, it was proved that there was possibility of achieving similar enhancement of MFIS by replacing compressive stress with perpendicular biaxial tensile stress. The results revealed that the residual variant induced by stress plays an important role in the reversible MFIS effect.
