His contributions to testing the behavior of composites under biaxial loading and the development of biaxial failure criteria are especially noteworthy.
Academic text (2001) -
Biaxial loading is important because it affects the energy absorption characteristics of skin.

The team believed that this required a complete redesign of the static structure to avoid the source of biaxial contact stress, which had caused failures during engine testing.
Academic text (1997) -
Sacs inserted beneath the skin are slowly inflated over periods of weeks to months, putting the skin in biaxial tension and increasing its surface area.
Academic text (1995) -
Such behavior may indicate that a biaxial fatigue analysis is required when analyzing the probability of failure of joints such as those investigated here.

Etymology
Biaxial comes from the parts bi- meaning 'two' and axis meaning 'a line through the middle', as in bicycle where bi- means 'two'. So, biaxial means 'having two axes', which is why we use it for crystals, machines, or materials that have two main directions of strength.
