  We study the elastic response of rigid, wire frame particles in concentrated,
glassy suspensions to a step strain by applying the simple, geometric methods
developed in part I. The wire frame particles are comprised of thin, rigid rods
of length $L$ and their number density, $\rho$, is such that $\rho L^3 \gg 1$.
We specifically compare rigid rods to L-shapes made of two equal length rods
joined at right angles. The behaviour of wire frames is found to be strikingly
different from that of rods. The linear elasticity scales like $\rho^3 L^6$ for
L-shaped particles, whereas it scales proportional to $\rho$ for rods and the
non-linear response shows a transition from shear hardening to shear softening
at a critical density $\rho_c \sim \sqrt{K / k_B T L^6}$, where $K$ is the
bending modulus of the particles. For realistic particles made of double
stranded DNA, this transition occurs at densities of about $\rho L^3 \sim 10$.
The reason for these differences is that wire frames can be forced to bend by
the entanglements with their surroundings, whereas rods always remain straight.
This is found to be very important even for small strains, with most particles
being bent above a critical strain $\gamma_c \sim (\rho L^3)^{-1}$.
