Abstract
The numerical implementation of the model of brittle fracture
developed in~ Francfort and Marigo (1998) is presented. Various
computational methods based on variational approximations of the
original functional are proposed. They are tested on several
antiplanar and planar examples that are beyond the reach of the
classical computational tools of fracture mechanics.
