We consider a linear fourth-order elliptic partial differential equation describing the displacements of a transversely isotropic linearly elastic medium. We find the symmetries of this equation and of the inhomogeneous equation with the delta function on the right-hand side. Based on the symmetries of the inhomogeneous equation, we construct an invariant fundamental solution in elementary functions.
