A theory of long-term damage of physically nonlinear homogeneous materials is proposed. Damage 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 fracture on the difference between the equivalent stress and its limit, which is the ultimate strength, according to the Huber–Mises criterion, and assumed to be a random function of coordinates. An equation of damage (porosity) balance in a physically nonlinear material at an arbitrary time is formulated. Algorithms of calculating the time dependence of microdamage and macrostresses are developed and the corresponding curves are plotted. The effect of the nonlinearity of the material on its macrodeformation and damage is analyzed
