Summary: This paper presents the analysis and implementation of variational formulation of quasi-static brittle fracture mechanics proposed by \textit{G. A. Francfort} and \textit{J.-J. Marigo} [J. Mech. Phys. Solids 46, No. 8, 1319--1342 (1998; Zbl 0966.74060)]. We briefly present the model itself, and its variational approximation in the sense of \(\Gamma\)-convergence. We propose a numerical algorithm based on alternate minimizations and prove its convergence under restrictive assumptions. We establish a new necessary condition for optimality for the entire time evolution from which we derive the backtracking algorithm. We give an analysis of the backtracking algorithm on a simple problem. We present realistic numerical simulation of a traction experiment on a fiber-reinforced matrix, and of the propagation of cracks in a perforated sample under mode-I loading.
