The development of a unique test method for biaxial stress experiments on brittle material is discussed. Results of biaxial tension‐tension and tension‐compression experiments on poly‐methylmethacrylate (plexiglas) are presented. The strength results compare reasonably well with modified distortion energy theory in the tension‐compression stress quadrant.
