It is necessary to divide the equation into two (second order), add the initial data and boundary conditions. Here is the code without adding boundary conditions
ClearAll[u, x, t, a, b, c, w, n];
c = 1;
n = 1;
a = 1;
b = 1;
w = 1;
pde = {D[u[t, x], t, t] - c*D[u[t, x], x, x] - n*D[v[t, x], t] == 0,
v[t, x] == D[u[t, x], x, x]};
ics = {u[0, x] == 0, v[0, x] == 0, Derivative[1, 0][u][0, x] == 0};
bcs = {(D[u[t, x], x] /. x -> 0) ==
If[t <= 10^-6, 0,
a*Sin[w*t] - b*Cos[w*t]], (D[u[t, x], x] /. x -> 1) ==
If[t <= 10^-6, 0, a*Sin[w*t] - b*Cos[w*t]]};
{U, V} = NDSolveValue[{pde, ics, bcs}, {u, v}, {x, 0, 1}, {t, 0, 10},
