Within a recently developed framework of dynamical Monte Carlo algorithms, we compute the roughness exponent zeta of driven elastic strings at the depinning threshold in 1 + 1 dimensions for different functional forms. of the (short-range) elastic energy. A purely harmonic elastic energy leads to an unphysical value for. We include supplementary terms in the elastic energy of at least quartic order in the local extension. We then find a roughness exponent of zeta similar or equal to 0.63, which coincides with the one obtained for different cellular automaton models of directed percolation depinning. We discuss the implications of our analysis for higher-dimensional elastic manifolds in disordered media.
