Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Regarding energy, continuum mechanics theory imposes that energy
quantities (in J) obviously increase with sample volume for a given
stress-strain behavior. Which is why energy quantities in J are again
not so meaningful in my opinion, compared with energy densities in J/m3

Keeping the same sample volume and the same stress-strain behavior (I
guess you would also like to match this one to the experiments), you
thus will have no possibility to change the energy input to the
sample...

You may just possibly play with micro-parameters to maybe change the
relative weights of distinct energy features in your simulation (energy
dissipated through plastic sliding i.e. friction, vs elastic energy
losses when cohesive interactions break)
