In the paper idea of reconstructed middle ear with a prosthesis made of shape memory alloy is proposed. The new design of shape memory prosthesis is used to enable adjusting its length to individual patient’s needs which is a novel contribution of the paper. In order to make a proper fit of prosthesis, a surgeon has to adjust its size and position by cutting step by step classical prosthesis. It takes time of a operation and enlarges a period of patient’s esthesia. Therefore, a shape memory prosthesis (SMP) is proposed to shorten operation time and improve fitting through precisely selected length. A reconstructed middle ear is modelled as a two degree of freedom system with nonlinear shape memory element. Finding advisable periodic and undesirable a periodic and irregular behaviour in various temperature is the main aim of the paper. Results of the study should give an answer whether SMP can be useful in medical practice and should also explain dynamics of the middle ear with SMP. The properties of the shape memory prosthesis, in the form of helical spring, are described here by a polynomial dependence. Firstly, free vibrations are investigated and equilibrium points, next forced vibrations are studied under different parameters of external excitations and temperature range. Bifurcation analysis and stability of periodic solutions are performed in order to reveal the system behaviour. Finally, interesting dynamical findings of chaotic vibrations pure regular and regular oscillations with fluctuation are presented. However, from practical point of view only harmonic response of the stapes is advisable. That can be achieved at the normal temperature of a human body only for small excitation amplitude.
