Some errors in the derivation and printing process in the original article were corrected. Although it was found that the errors have not created significant change in the main conclusions, the details were still given as follows:

There were two main errors. One error was that Eq. (25) was incorrectly derived, and it should be replaced by
Πijαβ=2GεijTεαβT=2ΔεijTεαβT=A2I1εijTεαβT+2B(I1εijTI1εαβT+I12I1εijTεαβT)+C2I2εijTεαβT+3D(2I1I1εijTI1εαβT+I122I1εijTεαβT)+E(I12I2εijTεαβT+I22I1εijTεαβT+I2εijTI1εαβT+I1εijTI2εαβT)+F2I3εijTεαβT
(25)

Thus, the components of the free energy for the biaxial loading derived from Eq. (25) should be replaced by

Π1111=2G(ε11T)2=2B+2C+4Eε11TΠ2222=2G(ε22T)2=2B+2C+4Eε22TΠ1122=2Gε11Tε22T=2B+2E(ε11T+ε22T)Π2211=2Gε22Tε11T=2B+2E(ε11T+ε22T)
(31)
To make the matrix given by Eq. (31) positive, the critical conditions of the material failure for the biaxial loading can be determined by
Π1111=2C+4Eε11T>0Π1111Π2222Π1122Π2211=(2C+4Eε11T)(2C+4Eε22T)[2E(ε11T+ε22T)]2=C2+2CE(ε11T+ε22T)E2(ε11Tε22T)2>0
(32)

Another error was that the data in Ref. 17 were incorrectly used, i.e., experimental nominal stress (strain) was confused with true stress (strain). As a result, given Table 1 should be replaced by new Table 1:

Table 1

Because of the aforementioned changes, Figs. 13 should be replaced by the following figures:

As shown in Figs. 13, no significant change compared with the results in the original article and the conclusions in the original paper still match with the revised figures.

Besides these two main errors, there were still several printing mistakes in some equations and the corrected forms are as follows:
dG=dUΓδ(Πiui)dsd(ST)=dUΓΠiδuidsΓuiδΠidsTdSSdT
(5)
dSi=1T(dG+ΓuiδΠids+SdT)=1TdG;δΠi=0,dT=0
(6)
Dσij0(εijεijT)dv=Dσij(εij0+εij)dv=0
(15)

Compared with the equations in the original article, some integral symbols should be added in Eqs. (5) and (6), the sign before SdT in Eq. (6) should be plus and the first part of Eq. (15) should have a superscript T instead p. All errors above have no effect on the subsequent derivation.
