1. An aircraft brake insulator assembly for a brake mechanism of an aircraft, the aircraft brake insulator assembly comprising:
a torque barrel assembly comprising:
a torque plate; and
a torque barrel coupled to the torque plate; and
a multi-layer insulator configured to be located between a piston housing of the brake mechanism and the torque plate, the multi-layer insulator comprising:
a first insulator layer, wherein the first insulator layer comprises:
a first inner circumferential surface,
a first outer circumferential surface, wherein a distance between the first inner circumferential surface and the first outer circumferential surface varies; and
a second insulator layer contacting the first insulator layer.
