So many questions :-)
Most of your questions -- like why the stress-strain tensor in
elasticity has four indices, and whether or not to use mixed elements --
are well answered in the literature. For the former, take a book about
solid mechanics. For the latter take a good book about the theory of
finite elements, but I think I also discuss this in one of the lectures
about how to choose the element for a given equation.
I, or J-P, or others could easily answer all of your questions here. But
my impression is that you are lacking some foundational knowledge about
common PDEs and their finite element discretization. Every answer we
will give you will raise more questions. The only way to get ahead of
this curve is to read.
Of course, if you have questions *specific to deal.II*, then we're more
than happy to answer them!
Best
Wolfgang
