Abstract
This paper attempts to determine the influence of a magnetic field on the motion of twin dislocations in order to understand the mechanism involved in magnetically driven shape memory alloys. In this paper, the nucleation of dislocations was not considered and thus the pre-existence of dislocations prior to the application of a magnetic field was assumed. The procedure used here is a general one, although for simplicity, the authors will apply the concepts to the (3 10 15)F transformation in ferrous alloys. The reason for this choice is the fact that twinning plays a crucial role in this phase transformation and the phenomenological crystallographic theory provides a reasonable description for this phase transition.
