Popis:	This paper demonstrates that symmetric tensegrity structures can have a shape memory effect. It has been found that the ratio of potential energy between two equilibrium states can vary considerably when the original length of the elastic elements is changed. It is then suggested that those structures may be used as shape memory actuators.
