    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.
