Thermomechanical surface instability at the origin of surface fissure patterns on heated circular MDF samples
Andrea Ferrantelli, Djebar Baroudi, Sergei Khakalo +1
When a flat sample of medium density fibreboard (MDF) is exposed to radiant heat in an inert atmosphere, primary crack patterns suddenly start to appear over the entire surface bef…

Reheating, thermalization and non-thermal gravitino production in MSSM inflation
Andrea Ferrantelli
In the framework of MSSM inflation, matter and gravitino production are here investigated through the decay of the fields which are coupled to the udd inflaton, a gauge invariant c…

A thermo-mechanical explanation for the topology of crack patterns observed on the surface of charred wood and particle fibreboard
Djebar Baroudi, Andrea Ferrantelli, Kai Yuan Li +1
In the assessment of wood charring, it was believed for a long time that physicochemical processes were responsible for the creation of cracking patterns on the charring wood surfa…
