A general law of energy release is derived for stressed heterogeneous materials, being valid from the starting moment of loading till the moment of materials fracture. This law is obtained by employing the extrapolation technique of the self-similar approximation theory. Experiments are accomplished measuring the energy release for industrial composite samples. The derived analytical law is confronted with these experimental data as well as with the known experimental data for other materials.
