A novel type of damageable cohesive law is presented for paired particle interactions in a DEM granular arrangement. It is designed in the spirit of a mixed breakage criterion for solid cohesion interaction, which can be implemented in parallel to a granular-frictional contact law. The evolution of damage at the contact level can be be easily modulated to enable a progressive transition from an initially linear elastic response to a loss of cohesion, by using a single parameter χ*. In a straightforward numerical implementation, the effect of this contact model is presented for a 3D periodic boundary condition DEM code. The results from a series of simulations show that, for a constant peak resistance of the cohesion, a more progressive damage result in an increase of the peak stress in a particle assembly, as well as a continuous transition in the stiffness of the stress-strain response around the peak stress.
