Spiridon Cretu, head of the RKB Engineering and Research Department, at the 11th biennial conference on Engineering Systems Design and Analysis (ESDA) of ASME 2012 in Nantes (France). The paper, entitled “Pressures Distributions and Depth Stresses Developed in Concentrated Contacts Between Elements with Non-Gaussian Rough Surfaces” deals with the crucial topic of optimized roughness to extend bearing rating life. The document can be downloaded from the “Publications” section of the company web site at www.rkbbearings.com.
