Infinite-cluster geometry in central-force networks

We show that the infinite percolating cluster (with density P_inf) of central-force networks is composed of: a fractal stress-bearing backbone (Pb) and; rigid but unstressed ``dangling ends'' which occupy a finite volume-fraction of the lattice (Pd). Near the rigidity threshold pc, there is then a first-order transition in P_inf = Pd + Pb, while Pb is second-order with exponent Beta'. A new mean field theory shows Beta'(mf)=1/2, while simulations of triangular lattices give Beta'_tr = 0.255 +/- 0.03.
