The phase field approach is a powerful tool that can handle even complicated fracture phenomena within an apparently simple framework. Nonetheless, a profound understanding of the model is required in order to be able to interpret the obtained results correctly. Furthermore, in the dynamic case the phase field model needs to be verified in comparison to experimental data and analytical results in order to increase the trust in this new approach. In this thesis, a phase field model for dynamic brittle fracture is investigated with regard to these aspects by analytical and numerical methods
