Abstract
On the basis of a fractal model the macroscopic elastic properties of an inhomogeneous medium with random structure have been determined. It is shown that if the ratio of the bulk moduli of the phases K 2/K 1→0, then the percolation threshold p c the Poisson coefficient is equal to 0.2. A study of the behavior of a two-phase medium with negative Poisson coefficient is carried out.
