In this paper,we study the blow-up of solutions to a semi-linear wave equation with a nonlinear memory term of derivative type.By using methods of an iteration argument and di erential inequalities,we obtain the blow-up result for the semi-linear wave equation when the exponent of p is under certain conditions.Meanwhile,we derive an upper bound of the lifespan of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the semi-linear wave equation.
