Monodimensional effects on elastic and vibrational properties of lacunary networks

Abstract
Elastic and vibrational properties of lacunary square networks with first-neighbor central forces are shown to reduce, in the framework of the harmonic approximation, to longitudinal modes determined by a fragmentation in independent blocks, i.e., segments. Vibrational spectra are thoroughly analyzed with evidence for a transition from continuous spectra to Dirac singularities via singular continuous spectra which occur near the linear percolation threshold. Random lacunary networks, as well as fractal ones, are studied.
