The theory of long-term damage of homogeneous materials, which is based on the equations of the mechanics of stochastically inhomogeneous materials, is generalized to discrete-fiber-reinforced composite materials. The microdamage of the composite components is modeled by randomly dispersed micropores. The failure criterion for a microvolume is characterized by its stress-rupture strength. It is determined by the dependence of the time to brittle failure on the difference between the equivalent stress and its limit. Given macrostresses and macrostrains, an equation of damage (porosity) balance in the composite components at an arbitrary time is formulated. The time dependence of microdamage and macrostresses or macrostrains is established in the case of stress-rupture microstrength described by an exponential power function
