Abstract
We introduce a phenomenological continuum model for the mode III dynamic fracture that is based on the phase-field methodology used extensively to model interfacial pattern formation. We couple a scalar field, which distinguishes between "broken" and "unbroken" states of the system, to the displacement field in a way that consistently includes both macroscopic elasticity and a simple rotationally invariant short-scale description of breaking. We report two-dimensional simulations that yield steady-state crack motion in a strip geometry above the Griffith threshold.

Phase-Field Models for Microstructure Evolution

TL;DR: The phase-field method has recently emerged as a powerful computational approach to modeling and predicting mesoscale morphological and microstructure evolution in materials as discussed by the authors, which is able to predict the evolution of arbitrary morphologies and complex microstructures without explicitly tracking the positions of interfaces.

A phase field model for rate-independent crack propagation: Robust algorithmic implementation based on operator splits

TL;DR: In this paper, a variational framework for rate-independent diffusive fracture was proposed based on the introduction of a local history field, which contains a maximum reference energy obtained in the deformation history, which may be considered as a measure for the maximum tensile strain obtained in history.
