Abstract: Five-layered martensite Ni-Mn-Ga single crystals are known for their exceptionally mobile twin boundaries allowing a shape change under mechanical stress and by magnetic field. The mechanically measured twinning stress has usually been studied in uniaxial mode, however the twinning and detwinning is generally accepted to be resulted by the shear component. We have studied the twinning behavior at uniaxial and shear stress. In addition we have applied the shear stress at different angles in relation to the expected twinning direction $$\left[ {10\bar 1} \right]$$ . The results show that the onset of twinning lays at similar stress levels in both uniaxial and shear modes. Copyright EDP Sciences, SIF, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013
