A powerful analytical methodology is discovered and is used to partition the total energy
release rate of mixed-mode 1D fractures on brittle homogeneous or bi-material interfaces into
its mode I and II components based on the classical and shear-deformable plate theories
and 2D elasticity. Previously unsolvable problems are solved and confusions explained.
