The paper by Eric R. Homer and coworkers explores, as described on page 850 , the use of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) in compliant mechanisms (CMs), structures which use the elastic deformation of thin members in place of pins and bearings. BMGs have among the highest elastic strain limit of any metals (2%) and can be injection molded like polymers, making them ideal CM materials. Image courtesy of D. Hofmann.
