We propose and analyse a phase‐field model which allows for adhesive interface failure between two materials by a local reduction of the critical fracture toughness over a given length scale in the vicinity of the interface. A parameter study is carried out which reveals a significant dependence of the cracking behaviour on the ratio between the length scale of the crack phase‐field model and the width of the adhesive interface.
