Assoc. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Yves-Simon Gloy
Technical expertise for complex textile matters
Textile expert witness and expert in textile technology
Technical opinions, structured evidence collection and scientifically grounded damage analysis for complex matters involving textiles, textile technology, textile machinery and textile production processes.
Profile
Associate Prof. Dr.-Ing. Yves-Simon Gloy combines academic depth in textile engineering with experience in industrial matters, technical evaluation and complex dispute contexts.
Associate Professor Dr.-Ing. Yves-Simon Gloy
Yves-Simon Gloy works in textile engineering, textile machines, textile production processes and textile factories. His work combines scientific methodology with a clear understanding of industrial processes, quality requirements and techno-economic contexts.
His focus lies on the technical assessment of complex matters involving textiles, textile technology, textile machinery and textile applications in industry, mobility, medicine, apparel and other advanced application fields.
Education and academic background
Yves-Simon Gloy studied at RWTH Aachen University, Germany as well as at ENSAIT, France, and also worked in academic contexts in Ottawa, Canada. His education therefore combines a strong engineering foundation with an international academic perspective.
He received his doctorate from RWTH Aachen University and later completed his habilitation there as well. As an Associate Professor, he represents an academically grounded, methodically structured and practice-oriented approach to technical matters. The combination of research, teaching and industry-related project work provides a strong basis for expert opinions, evidence collection, damage analysis and technical evaluation. In addition, he is active in the field of standardization.
In addition, he gives lectures at RWTH Aachen University and at TU Chemnitz, Germany. At RWTH Aachen University, he is also listed as a Privatdozent at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. He also served for several years as an Adjunct Professor at Clemson University, SC, USA.

Evidence collection with technical and methodological rigor
Early and properly structured evidence collection is often decisive for the later technical and legal evaluation of a matter.
Typical scope
- Documentation of the condition as found
- Technical description of products, components and equipment
- Securing relevant test records, process data and supporting documents
- Structured photo, measurement and documentation concepts
- Sampling and securing representative specimens
Methodology
Where appropriate, statistically supported approaches for sampling, for example aligned with ISO 2859, can be used to select investigation samples in a traceable and representative manner.
The overall methodology may be aligned with international customs and inspection best-practice approaches, especially with regard to documentation, traceability, sample integrity and methodological transparency.
Scientific damage analysis
Damage and quality deviations in textiles often have multiple interacting causes. These may lie in the material itself, processing, production, use conditions or in the interaction of several influencing factors.
Areas of analysis
- Fiber, yarn or fabric-related issues
- Material and processing defects
- Deviations between specification and actual execution
- Systematic quality deviations in batches or production series
- Influences from production, storage, transport or use
- Interactions between material, process and machinery
Analytical approach
Where the data allow it, statistical methods can additionally be applied to assess patterns, trends or differences in complaint data, test series or production records in a robust manner. Where required, scientific damage analysis is also carried out in cooperation with accredited international testing laboratories.
The objective is a technically sound, transparent and defensible evaluation of the observed damage pattern and its likely causes.
Typical instructions and clients
Services are particularly relevant to companies, law firms, courts, authorities, insurers, investors, research institutions and private clients facing technical questions.
Typical scenarios
- Disputes involving textile products or processes
- Defects, damage or quality deviations
- Questions regarding technical causes of failures or deviations
- Evaluation of textile machinery and production systems
- Evidence preservation before or during proceedings
- Technical matters in arbitration or patent disputes
Approach
The focus is on clear, structured and technically defensible handling of each matter. Depending on the assignment, this may include review of technical documents, sample examination, analysis of test and process data, site visits or technical assessment of existing reports.
