  This article presents the Huygens method as a novel alternative to the
Cagniard-de Hoop method, offering insights into wave generation mechanisms and
facilitating wave decomposition. It holds promise for various linear boundary
problems and provides results without singularities. The study defines surface
waves, including the Rayleigh wave, and identifies a novel wave mode, the
Huygens wave. Additionally, it investigates displacements near the axis,
providing simplified approximations and examining changes in displacements over
time and space, noting their gradual attenuation.
