[For part I, see the authors, ibid. 22, 1-22 (1986; Zbl 0619.76013).] A constitutive model for foams developed previously is extended here to study the influence of polydispersity on small deformations and the coupled effects of viscous and interfacial forces present in the foam films on both small and large deformations. A formalism for describing cell motion at large strains is also presented. To investigate the effects of polydispersity, the cell deformation and stress-strain behavior for a foam with a bimodal cell size distribution are calculated. The yield stress, critical (yield) strain and the stress-strain relation are found to be independent of the size distribution about a constant mean cell size and are coincident with that of foam consisting of monodisperse, regular hexagonal cells.
