Variational approach to brittle fracture based on the Griffith theory appears to be a vital tool for the modelling of initiation and propagation of cracks in brittle materials caused not only by the thermal loading. In the present work we familiarise the reader with the historical background of this scientific discipline, together with the regularised energy functional. The existence of a solution will be proved and the main advantages will be demonstrated on a numerical calculations. Also the difficulties and troubles of a model will be presented in order to deal with them in future work.
