Default Engine Vibration

BTW, another area that causes vibration is that the prop doesn't turn at a fixed speed. It varies in revs through each cycle to the extent of a couple of hundred rpms's so the engine tends to rock sideways in both directions each cycle.
Wouldn't that make a linear graph since it would be more pronounced at lower RPM than high?
