Yes, actually both schemes converge to the same solution.
Maybe I should do some postprocessing with a visualiuation in order to figure out what the lumped integration does with the values at the qps.

Then the difference you observe is simply numerical error.


I want to determine the convergence rate for the elasticity equations with the PDE: div(stress-tensor) = 0. -Since I determine the convergence rate, the before mentioned *constant* in the inequality cancels out, i.e. I should get the same convergence rate as for the laplace equation. Is that right?

Correct. The *rate* is independent of the factor.


-I actually solve the nonlinear elasticity equations (hyperelasticity); The finite element spaces, test functions,... are the same as for linear elasticity, but the stresses depend now nonlinear on the gradient of the displacements. My question is if the nonlinearity changes the error estimates? Let´s assume I determine the convergence rate in the L2-norm for linear elasticity, which is in the best case 2 for for p=1. Should I also get 2 for the nonlinear elasticity equations?

I'm sure someone has proved this, but my intuition is that for every elliptic equation without an advection term, you will get the same convergence rate as for the Laplace equation as long as the coefficient in the elliptic operator is nice enough. Nice enough here will mean that your stress-strain relationship does not degenerate, i.e.,
  ||sigma|| / ||eps||
does not go to zero or infinity, and is a smooth function of some sort.
