We present an extension of fiber bundle models to describe the mechanical response of systems which undergo a sequence of stick-slip cycles taking into account the changing stiffness and the fluctuating number of slip events of local material elements.After completing all stick-slip cycles allowed, fibers can either ultimately break or can keep the
