You should think in terms of (initial) bulk and shear moduli instead of Young's modulus which only makes sense in the infinitesimal sense (i.e., "small" strains); Young's modulus has no meaning in finite elasticity (i.e., "large" strains). Analysis User's Guide discusses this in some detail. If that is not sufficient, grab a book on continuum tissue mechanics; Y.C. Fung/Gerhard Holzapfel/Jay Humphrey have written excellent texts.
