AbstractWe consider an evolution in phase-field fracture which combines, in a system of PDEs, an irreversible gradient-flow for the phase-field variable with the equilibrium equation for the displacement field. We introduce a discretization in time and define a discrete solution by means of a 1-step alternate minimization scheme, with a quadratic {L^{2}}-penalty in the phase-field variable (i.e. an alternate minimizing movement). First, we prove that discrete solutions converge to a solution of our system of PDEs. Then we show that the vanishing viscosity limit is a quasi-static (parametrized) BV-evolution. All these solutions are described both in terms of energy balance and, equivalently, by PDEs within the natural framework of {W^{1,2}(0,T;L^{2})}.
