1. having or relating to two axes
Usage: technical; used in crystallography, optics, and materials science

Examples

• The biaxal crystal exhibited different refractive indices along two principal directions.
• Biaxal stress was applied to the material during the tensile test.
• The optical properties of the biaxal mineral were analyzed using polarized light microscopy.
• Engineers designed the composite with biaxal reinforcement for improved strength.
• The biaxal symmetry of the structure allowed for predictable deformation patterns.
