Description: This paper addresses the use of the Lattice Monte Carlo method for the thermal characterization of composite materials. An optimized approach that minimizes computational time is presented. The key aspect of the approach is the avoidance of the need to model the local thermal inertia. A combined finite element and Lattice Monte Carlo analysis is conducted on a model composite for a formal verification of the effective thermal diffusivity and conductivity calculated by the optimized Lattice Monte Carlo method. The effective thermal inertia is calculated separately by making use of the energy conservation law.
