Abstract
The elastic problem in two-dimensional percolation is investigated on a hierarchical lattice, in the context of Cosserat elasticity (or granular elasticity). For this regular fractal, the exponent of elastic moduli () is slightly smaller than the expected value () deduced from the conductivity exponent (). The correction is related to the distribution of a new geometric parameter (the "eccentricity"). We also discuss the inequalities , the anisotropy of the elastic response, and the case of scalar elasticity.
