Phase field models have been successfully applied in recent years to a variety of fracture mechanics problems, such as quasi-brittle materials, dynamic fracture mechanics, fatigue cracks in brittle materials, as well as ductile materials. The basic idea of the method is to introduce an additional term in the energy functional describing the state of material bodies. A new state variable is included in this term, the so-called phase field, and enables to determine the surface energy of the crack. This approach allows to model phenomena such as crack initiation, crack branching and buckling of cracks, as well as the modelling of the crack front in three-dimensional geometries, without further assumptions. There is yet no systematic investigation of the influence of strain hardening on crack development within the phase field method. Thus, the aim of the paper is to provide an analysis of the effect of kinematic and isotropic hardening on the evolution of the phase field variable.
