We consider the hyperelastic rod equation describing nonlinear dispersive waves in compressible hyperelastic rods. We investigate the existence of certain traveling wave solutions to this equation. We also determine whether two other equations(the b-family equation and the modified Camassa-Holm equation) have our solution type.
