👉 Lyotropic is a term used in physics and mathematics to describe a system where forces are only applied to the points of contact between two different materials. This means that if one material is being subjected to an external force, it will not affect another material that is also under the same force. For example, consider a beam with two different materials (A and B). If A is subjected to a force F_a, which acts at point P_A on the surface of A, and B is subjected to
