The Finite Difference Method (FDM) is widely used to solve partial differential equations in various physical problems, including solid mechanics. In the analysis of laminated composite structures, FDM enables meshless solutions. Laminated glasses can be mathematically modeled as alternating layers of two hard materials with soft interlayers. Previous studies have primarily focused on laminated glasses with symmetric boundary conditions. In this study, the solution method is extended to address unsymmetrical mixed boundary conditions, and the results are validated by comparison with finite element method (FEM) simulations.
