Abstract
The mechanical properties of random mailer are of importance in two different ways: on one side, one considers the form of matter as granted and one raises questions concerning the effect of the structure on these properties. On the other side, it is of considerable importance to study how the constraints imposed by the mechanics control the problems of growth, in particular for large non-brownian objects. Such a teleological approach was used through D’Arcy Thompson’s classical masterwork.1 We will focus mostly on granular media and will consider properties of both grain and pore phases starting from homogeneous, well-connected media (Sec. 1). In Sec. 2, we will consider the extreme case of very heterogeneously-connected media where bond percolation is often found to apply. In Sec. 3, we will mention effects of macroscopic heterogeneities controlled by hydrodynamic processes, such as in two phase flow in porous media or in flowing suspensions.

We can also stress the correspondance with the problem of change of class of universality due to large bond disorder around a percolation threshold discussed in these Proceedings by Sen. In the application of his analysis to fractures we should have δm go to zero and all the bonds down to this lowest limit are needed at percolation threshold.
