We consider a blow-up phenomenon for $ { \partial_t^2 u_ \varepsilon} $ $ {- \varepsilon^2 \partial_x^2u_ \varepsilon } $ $ { = F(\partial_t u_ \varepsilon)}. $ The derivative of the solution $ \partial_t u_ \varepsilon $ blows-up on a curve $ t = T_ \varepsilon(x) $ if we impose some conditions on the initial values and the nonlinear term $ F $. We call $ T_ \varepsilon $ blow-up curve for $ { \partial_t^2 u_ \varepsilon} $ $ {- \varepsilon^2 \partial_x^2u_ \varepsilon } $ $ { = F(\partial_t u_ \varepsilon)}. $ In the same way, we consider the blow-up curve $ t = \tilde{T}(x) $ for $ {\partial_t^2 u} $ $ = $ $ {F(\partial_t u)}. $ The purpose of this paper is to show that, for each $ x $, $ T_ \varepsilon(x) $ converges to $ \tilde{T}(x) $ as $ \varepsilon\rightarrow 0. $

Keywords: Blow-up, wave equation, numerical analysis.
