Question: How to do simple operations on tensors?

Hello. I am engaged in independent study of tensor calculus (in the annex to the theory of elasticity) and package Maple. Currently engaged in the action of a solution of the normal point force on elastic half-space (Boussinesq problem, for example, see http://solidmechanics.org/Text/Chapter5_4/Chapter5_4.php#Sect5_4_4). The point is this: you need to create a vector displacement field U, differentiate and create a strain tensor, and then using Hooke's law to obtain the stress tensor. Actually only started to understand and immediately raised the question. Creating vector displacement field using the VectorField package VectorCalculus or any team or package DifferentialGeometry Physic? How then create a tensor with components equal to the partial derivatives of the displacement vector? My attempts Boussinesq_problem.mw. Thanks for your help.
