Hi Dr. Bangerth, Thank you for the explanation.
Yes I just did the problem with 1 element and figured out that because I was using vector to output the strain the errors come up. I should have checked this before. Now with scalar definition my problem is converging even with multiple elements and proper refined mesh. Thank you.
