In this paper we study the blow-up of solution of a mixed problem associated to a nonlinear wave equation with dissipative and source term in a bounded domain of ℝ . On a boundary portion of the domain we consider a non-porous viscoelastic acoustic boundary conditions to a non-locally reacting boundary.
