General formulae are found for misfit strains and their energy density in multilayer solid composites. The effect of misfit strains on phase transformations (related to diffusional mixing) in layered composites is theoretically described with the help of the above general formulae. It is theoretically revealed here that misfit strains play a significant role in initiating solid-state amorphizing transformations. The dependence of the minimal critical thickness (which characterizes the amorphization processes) on misfit parameters in layered composites is found.
