bones expert systems are employed to reduce the computational cost and to enhance the
accuracy of simulations. In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) was used for the
prediction of displacement in long bones followed by ex-vivo experiments. Three hydrated
third metacarpal bones (MC3) from 3 thoroughbred horses were used in the experiments. A
set of strain gauges were distributed around the midshaft of the bones. These bones were …
