biaxial

adj

1. (not-comparable)Having two axes.
2. (not-comparable)Having two axes of rotation and two planes of symmetry (e.g. having the shape of a spheroid)
3. (not-comparable)Along two axes; e.g. in engineering, a shear or compression text of a material along two axes

   “mapping the shape of the Earth onto a biaxial ellipsoid”

4. (not-comparable)Having a value in two perpendicular directions. (In solid mechanics, it generally means that normal stresses exist in two of the possible three directions, though not necessarily equal in sign or magnitude.)
