Abstract: Snap-acting two way shape memory device can be obtained by using the design proposed by authors.Some essential parameters which characterize the properties of device have been pro- posed also in this paper.And the principle and method according to which a practical snap-acting device can be designed have been described.

Key words: shape memory alloy, snap-acting device, two-way shape memory effect
