Discusses the limitations, instability, and dynamics of extratropical cyclones, focusing on baroclinic instability and the role of cyclones in redistributing heat.
Covers centrifugal instabilities, Rayleigh criterion, experimental setups, Navier-Stokes equations, base flow analysis, and comparison between theory and experiments.
Explores earthquake effects, seismic hazards, building damage, and seismic design principles, emphasizing the importance of deformation capacity in structures.
