A continuum model of crack propagation is presented and discussed. We obtain steady state solutions with a self-consistently selected propagation velocity and shape of the crack, provided that elastodynamic and viscoelastic effects are taken into account. Two different mechanism of crack propagation, a first order phase transition and surface diffusion are considered, and we discuss different loading modes. The arising free boundary problems are solved by phase field methods and a sharp interface approach using a multipole expansion technique.
