Leblond Jean-Baptiste (ed). Advances in finite fracture mechanics : a tribute to Dominique Leguillon's scientific achievements. Comptes Rendus. Mécanique, Volume 353 (2025) no. S3,  doi : 10.5802/crmeca.sp.2. https://comptes-rendus.academie-sciences.fr/mecanique/item/CRMECA_2025__353_S3/

This special issue is dedicated to the memory of Dominique Leguillon, who passed away at the end of 2023. He was a highly original researcher, both in terms of his research and his career. He joined the CNRS as a research engineer and worked closely with our illustrious colleague Henri Sanchez-Palencia. The importance of his contributions, which far exceeded his job as research engineer, led to his appointment as director of research. His essential contribution, which owed nothing to anyone but him, was, in the early 2000s, to go beyond the known limitations of classical fracture mechanics, by proposing an extended theory now widely known as “finite fracture mechanics”. The interest aroused by this proposal led to numerous collaborations with various foreign colleagues, who continue to develop the theory today, as the special issue in his honor clearly shows.
