Abstract Hybrid experimental – numerical techniques are applied to the problem of the interpretation of patterns of fringes that are generated by non-contact full-field experimental methods applied for analysis of dynamic displacement fields of MEMS components. It is shown that even rather simple cantilever beam of a MEMS switch can exhibit complex dynamical response due to the nonlinearities of interactions and the surrounding noise. In many instances the interpretation of experimental results is possible only after numerical simulation of MEMS components in virtual computational environments.
