About KINETIA
KINETIA (Sanchez Climent KINETIA) was founded in Zurich in 2018 and is an engineering office specializing in Noise and Vibration. The company diagnoses and solves noise and vibration problems in industrial and structural systems such as pumps, blowers, gearboxes, pipelines, and support structures. The typical process includes on-site measurement campaigns, dynamic characterization of structures using modal analysis and Operational Deflection Shapes, and the creation of numerical models (FEM, CFD, acoustic simulation with MSC Nastran/ACTRAN and SEA), where countermeasures are tested virtually. Other services include long-term monitoring of noise and vibration signals, identification of sound sources using acoustic cameras (gfai), sound quality analysis using characteristics such as Loudness and Sharpness, and certification of noise and vibration levels. For already running systems, components such as pump or blower coupling parts are redesigned to prevent resonance. Project references include INTECSA, CT As Pontes, DIRA Digital, and ICR SL (EU project PIANO, acoustic model of the AW-609 airplane cabin).
