enter image description here

So one half of this picture is formed of a broad , more or less Triangular bony plate , called scapulo-coracoid and a small clavicle bone.
I m interested in biomimcry and I want to know the hidden technical knowledge behind this work of nature. I know how to derive MOI for spherical shape , cylindrical shape. But I m not able to get my head around this one .

  • $\begingroup$ @Benjamin Schroeder " one half of this picture is formed of a broad , more or less Triangular bony plate , called scapulo-coracoid and a small clavicle bone " . This is information given about the shape of this thing. If by " mathematical definition of the body " you mean radius , length , breadth of this thing , we can assume R , L and B as radius , length and breadth resp. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ -1 No research effort. How have you tried to calculate the moment of inertia for this object? ... What use to you is a value for the MOI of this bone? $\endgroup$

No. If you don't have a mathematical definition of the body we cannot calculate its moment of inertia.

If you had a physical specimen, you could try mounting it along the axis you want to measure and measuring the response to a torque.
