A length scale insensitive phase-field damage model for brittle fracture

•A phase-field regularized cohesive zone model for brittle fracture is proposed.•The relations to other phase-field models and Barenblatt’s CZM are clarified.•Neither explicit crack representation/tracking nor penalty stiffness is needed.•The numerical result is insensitive to the incorporated lengt...
