The stratospheric airship envelope material is operated in biaxial stress, so it is necessary to study the in-plane biaxial tensile strength. In this paper, a theoretical model is developed to evaluate the mechanical properties of in-plane biaxial specimens. Being applied to the finite element analysis, the theoretical model is employed to evaluate the influence of strengthening material behavior (E*) and geometry parameters on the mechanical behavior in the central. The follows results are drawn: (i) smaller the length of the central region (Lcen), E* and larger the central region corner radius (r) contribute to smaller coefficient of variation (CV); (ii) smaller Lcen and larger E* contribute to smaller stress concentration factor (k), k in the limit state of r is larger than that in other conditions. (iii) The CV and k under stress ratio of 1:1 are smaller than those under other stress ratios. The study can provide a useful reference for the design of biaxial specimens. View Full-Text
