Question #236400 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/236400

Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
The contact law defines fn as a function of un. There is really no difficulty 
in making the relation piecewise linear (I understand this is what you want to 
do).
The current contact laws don't have this behavior though, so you will need to 
write a new one, or modify an existing one if it does not interfer too much 
with its present behavior.
If you want to commit your change to an existing law, requirements are that 1/ 
the default behavior should not be modified and 2/ it does not imply that users 
of the current code will have to carry more variables (e.g the secondary 
stiffness) in the interactions.
