Abstract
Bond percolation on elastic networks involving nearest-neighbor forces is studied by numerical simulations. With purely central forces, the bulk and shear moduli go to zero, with an exponent , and at a threshold , which are significantly higher than the exponent and threshold of the corresponding purely isotropic force or the equivalent electrical conduction problem. An interesting crossover is observed when both central and isotropic forces are included.
