Abstract: An apparatus and method for isolating one part of a body from mechanical rations from another part thereof by providing a flexible gasket between the two parts of the body. The flexible gasket includes a plurality of voids to permit adequate space for the deformed gasket when the body is subjected to varying dynamic conditions. One embodiment of the apparatus is a transducer nose section of a torpedo which includes a pliable gasket for isolating the acoustic transducers housed therein from extraneous shell-born and mechanical vibrations. It further includes two pieces or elements such as the aft piece and forward piece which are kept a certain distance apart to create a gap using a plurality of shims and polyurethene is poured in between the two elements so as to form the pliable gasket. The shims are then removed leaving voids in the polyurethene gasket. Alternatively, polyurethene poured in between the two elements is drilled at a plurality of spaces to create voids therein.
