Abstract

The transfer matrix evaluation of the elastic constants of random bond honeycomb lattices was applied to mixtures of rigid and normal elastic bonds and to diluted networks. At least three exponents (T ∼ 4, S ∼ 1.3 and T′ ∼ 1.3) are required to describe the critical behavior. Applying finite size scaling ideas we found that the Poisson's ratio is ξ/L dependent (from -1 3 to 0.08) for the rigid-normal elastic network, but it is ξ/L independent for the diluted-normal network. The main features of the scaling theory of random elastic systems are summarized.
