AB  - Problem statement: Love waves or shear waves are referred to dispersive SH waves. The
diffusive parameters are found to produce complex amplitude and diffusive waves for energy hauling.
Approach: Analytical solutions are found for analysis and discussions. Results: When the standing
waves are compared with the Love waves, similar cosine component is found in both waves. Energy
hauling between waves is impossible for Love waves if the cosine component is independent. In the
view of 3D particle motion, the sine component of the Rayleigh waves will interfere with shear waves
and thus the energy hauling capability of shear waves are formed for generating directed dislocations.
Nevertheless, the cnoidal waves with low elliptic parameter are shown to act analogous to Rayleigh
waves. Conclusion: Love waves or Rayleigh waves are unable to propagate energy once the sine
component does not exist.
