In this work, a nano-size rocksalt crystal (magnesium oxide) is considered as a continuous collection of unit cells, while each unit cell consists of discrete atoms; and modeled by a multiscale concurrent atomic/continuum field theory. The response of the crystal to an electromagnetic (EM) wave is studied. Finite element analysis is performed by solving the governing equations of the multiscale theory. Due to the applied EM field, the inhomogeneous motions of discrete atoms in the polarizable crystal give rise to the change of microstructure and the polarization wave. The relation between the natural frequency of this system and the driving frequency of the applied EM field is found and discussed.

We present a new global/local analysis with the aid of MLS(Moving Least Square)-based finite elements which can handle an arbitrary number of nodes on every element side. It give a great flexibility in constructing finite element meshes at the specified local regions without remeshing. Compared to other type global/local analysis, it does not require any superimposed mesh or need not solve the equilibrium equation twice as well as shows an excellent accuracy. To demonstrate the performance of proposed scheme, we will show several examples in relation to capturing highly local stress field.
