We present a phase-field model of the propagation of fracture under plane strain. This model, based on simple physical considerations, is able to accurately reproduce the different behavior of cracks (the principle of local symmetry, the Griffith and Irwin criteria, and mode-I branching). In addition, we test our model against recent experimental findings showing the presence of oscillating cracks under biaxial load. Our model again reproduces well observed supercritical Hopf bifurcation and is therefore the first simulation which does so.
