We analyze a finite-difference approximation of a functional of Ambrosio-Tortorelli type in brittle fracture, in the discrete-to-continuum limit. In a suitable regime between the competing scales, namely if the discretization step delta is smaller than the ellipticity parameter epsilon, we show the Gamma-convergence of the model to the Griffith functional, containing only a term enforcing Dirichlet boundary conditions and no L-p fidelity term. Restricting to two dimensions, we also address the case in which a (linearized) constraint of non-interpenetration of matter is added in the limit functional, in the spirit of a recent work by Chambolle, Conti and Francfort.
