Abstract: This work is devoted to the analysis of convergence of an alternate (staggered) minimization algorithm in the framework of phase field models of fracture. The energy of the system is characterized by a nonlinear splitting of tensile and compressive strains, featuring non-interpenetration of the fracture lips. The alternating scheme is coupled with an L2-penalization in the phase field variable, driven by a viscous parameter~delta>0, and with an irreversibility constraint, forcing the monotonicity of the phase field only w.r.t.~time, but not along the whole iterative minimization. We show first the convergence of such a scheme to a viscous evolution for delta>0 and then consider the vanishing viscosity limit deltao0.
