We numerically solve the propagation of a shock wave in a chain of elastic
beads with no restoring forces under traction (no-tension elasticity). We find
a sequence of peaks of decreasing amplitude and velocity. Analyzing the main
peak at different times we confirm a recently proposed scaling law for its
decay.
