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

As shown in Figs. 1–3, no significant change compared with the results in the original article and the conclusions in the original paper still match with the revised figures.

The strength contour of the four types of specimens in plastic strain space. The solid (dashed) curves are given by Eq. (31) with the parameters A, C, and E obtained for the uniaxial tensile (compressive) loading. The dots represent the experimental data.

The strength contours for the four types of specimens in stress space. The solid (dashed) curves are given by Eq. (30) with the parameters A, C, and E obtained for the uniaxial tensile (compressive) loading.

The strength contours of the four types of specimens. Inside the contour, the specimens were safe. The solid (dash) curves were given by Eq. (30) with the parameters A, C, and E obtained for the uniaxial tensile (compressive) loading.
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.
