triaxial

Along three perpendicular directions

Triaxial means having or relating to three axes.

The term appears most often in engineering and geology, where a triaxial test measures how materials like soil or rock respond to pressure applied along three perpendicular directions: The triaxial compression test revealed the clay's shear strength.

Triaxial cables contain three coaxial conductors.
