In this paper, a Lattice Monte Carlo method is used to determine the effective thermal conductivity in two dimensional models of adhesively bonded metallic hollow sphere structures (MHSS). In contrast to earlier approaches, more realistic distributions of spheres without the simplification of cubic...
