The sub- and super-critical dynamics of an axially moving beam subjected to a transverse harmonic excitation force is examined for the cases where the system is tuned to a three-to-one internal resonance as well as for the case where it is not. The governing equation of motion of this gyroscopic system is discretized by employing Galerkin’s technique which yields a set of coupled nonlinear differential equations. For the system in the sub-critical speed regime, the periodic solutions are studied using the pseudo-arclength continuation method, while the global dynamics is investigated numerically. In the latter case, bifurcation diagrams of Poincaré maps are obtained via direct time integration. Moreover, for a selected set of system parameters, the dynamics of the system is presented in the form of time histories, phase-plane portraits, and Poincaré maps. Finally, the effects of different system parameters on the amplitude-frequency responses as well as bifurcation diagrams are presented.
