1. A strengthened laminated glass structure comprising:
a core glass layer having a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE);
a first clad glass layer laminated to a first surface of the core glass layer; and
a second clad glass layer laminated to a second surface of the core glass layer;
wherein each of the first clad glass layer and the second clad glass layer comprises an ion exchangeable glass having a second CTE that is lower than the first CTE of the core glass layer; and
wherein an ion-exchanged region of each of the first clad glass layer and the second clad glass layer is under a compressive stress that is enhanced relative to a compressive stress of a non-ion-exchanged region of the respective first clad glass layer and second clad glass layer;
wherein the enhanced compressive stress of the ion-exchanged region varies continuously with increasing depth of layer (DOL) from an outer surface of the respective first clad glass layer or second clad glass layer throughout a portion of each of the first and second clad glass layers; and
wherein the enhanced compressive stress increases with increasing DOL in a portion of the ion-exchanged region.

16. A strengthened laminated glass structure, comprising:
a core glass layer having a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE);
a first clad glass layer laminated to a first surface of the core glass layer; and
a second clad glass layer laminated to a second surface of the core glass layer,
wherein each of the first clad glass layer and the second clad glass layer comprises an ion exchangeable glass having a second CTE that is lower than the first CTE of the core glass layer;
wherein an ion-exchanged region of each of the first clad glass layer and the second clad glass layer is under a compressive stress that is enhanced relative to a compressive stress of a non-ion-exchanged region of the respective first clad glass layer and second clad glass layer;
wherein the enhanced compressive stress of the ion-exchanged region varies continuously with increasing depth of layer (DOL) from an outer surface of the respective first clad glass layer or second clad glass layer throughout a portion of each of the first and second clad glass layers; and
wherein the enhanced compressive stress inflects from decreasing to increasing with increasing DOL in a portion of the ion-exchanged region.
