      The authors construct a new family of finite elements for the approximation of a mixed variational formulation of linear elasticity (formulation in terms of displacements and stresses). Approximation properties of these elements are studied and estimates of optimal order are derived for both, the displacement and stress field. All estimates are valid for the incompressible case, as well. Elements are the vector analogue of Raviart-Thomas mixed finite elements for the scalar elliptic equation.
