This paper focuses on presentation of waves phenomena that occur during propagation of disturbance in continuous incompressible hyperelastic structures, described with elastic potential. Numerical analysis demonstrated differences during the propagation of disturbances in the commonly used model of Mooney-Rivlin material compared to less popular Zahorski material. The obtained result is also likely to contribute to development of new forms of practical application of nonlinear rubber and rubber-like materials for technological solutions, including those used in the broadly understood construction sector.
