We study here the landscape of the excitations (compression density) of the nonlinear oxygen vibrations in a two-dimensional CuO 2 layer. After studying regular lattices we investigate lattices with bonds which are weakly distorted due to an influence of weak doping (below the HTSC regime). We estimate the density of compressions (strain density) in dependence of a misfit of the Cu-O-bonds. We show that with increasing misfit the nonlinear oscillations of the O-atoms are organized in stripes. Assuming that the density of doping charges follows at least qualitatively the compression density, we discuss the stripe structures of the strain density as a possible origin for the experimentally observed stripe structures.
