Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of equipartition of the total energy in linear elastodynamics for exterior domains. Suitable hypotheses on the initial data and on the acoustic tensor allow us to prove that Cesaro's means of the kinetic and strain energies tend to one-half of the total energy asymptotically in time.
