Hi, Deal.II has been used in numerous applications, including but not limited to solid mechanics, see publication lists http://www.dealii.org/publications.html and also publications of my colleague Jean-Paul https://ltm-en.cms.rrze.uni-erlangen.de/person/pelteret-jean-paul-ph-d/ who is focused on solid mechanics and multi-physics problems.
