This paper investigates the effects of temperature-dependent interfacial tension on shear wave velocity. We designed a nylon cell equipped with bender elements in a cross-hole configuration to measure the shear wave velocity of nine sand\u2013silt mixtures with different degrees of saturation (S = 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%, and 100%). All specimens were subjected to a temperature change from 10 \u00b0C to 1 \u00b0C. The results demonstrate that shear wave velocity tends to be very sensitive to changes in temperature at a low degree of saturation. Particle-scale analyses overlapped with the experimental results and captured the critical role of temperature-dependent interfacial tension in small-strain skeletal stiffness. In fact, the temperature should be considered during laboratory and field shear modulus measurements of the long-term performance of energy geosystems subjected to thermally induced repetitive loads.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23218709","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,25]],"date-time":"2023-10-25T09:54:08Z","timestamp":1698227648000},"page":"8709","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Role of Temperature-Dependent Interfacial Tension on Shear Wave Velocity for Energy Geosystems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Junghee","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Incheon National University, Incheon 22012, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jongchan","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"567","DOI":"10.1007\/s10706-008-9190-7","article-title":"Wave-based techniques for evaluating elastic modulus and Poisson\u2019s ratio of laboratory compacted lateritic soils","volume":"26","author":"Sawangsuriya","year":"2008","journal-title":"Geotech.
