[sci.math] collison detection and response

Hi there,

    I am looking for further references with regards to the topic of:

        "Collision Detection and Response for Computer
        Animation", Matthew Moore and Jane Wilhelms.

    Which appeared in :
    
        ACM Computer Graphics, Vol: 22, No: 4, Aug 1988

    I am particularly interested in :
        Some more joint restraints.
            eg. pin joints, screw joints, sliding joints
            The authors address some of these but I am looking
            for one equation (in 3 coordinates) for each joint,
            if at all possible.
        How joint objects behave when they are not colliding.
            ie. does the fact that they are joined make a
            difference to non-impulsive motion.  eg. a falling
            chain which is not attached to a fixed object.

    I will probably think of some more questions later, but these
    will do for now. 8^).

    Thanks in advance,
        Richard.

    PS. as I am cross posting this to several groups could you
