  In this paper the tachyonic resonance preheating generated from the bosonic
trilinear $\phi\chi^2$ interactions in an expanding Universe is studied. In
$\lambda\phi^4/4$ inflationary model the trilinear interaction, in contrast to
the four-legs $\phi^2\chi^2$, breaks the conformal symmetry explicitly and the
resonant source term becomes non-periodic, making the Floquet theorem
inapplicable. We find that the occupation number of the produced
$\chi$-particles has a non-linear exponential growth with exponent $\sim
x^{3/2}$, where $x$ is the conformal time. This should be contrasted with
preheating from a periodic resonant source, arising for example from the
four-legs $\phi^2\chi^2$ interaction, where the occupation number has a linear
exponential growth. We present an analytic method to compute the interference
term coming from phases accumulated in non-tachyonic scattering regions and
show that the effects of the interference term causes ripples on $x^{3/2}$
curve, a result which is confirmed by numerical analysis. Studying the effects
of back-reaction of the $\chi$-particles, we show that tachyonic resonance
preheating in our model can last long enough to transfer most of the energy
from the background inflation field $\phi$, providing an efficient model for
preheating in the chaotic inflation models.
