Solve for x_double_dot, then substitute x = y1, x_dot = y2 and write your equation as a system of two first-order differential equations:
y1' = y2
y2' = x_double_dot = ...
Finally, use ODE45 to solve.

You tell us what the value of w is, but not all of the other important parameters. They are just as important. Thus what are a2, a3, b2 b3? If you don't have them, then no numerical solution will be possible. My expectation is no analytical solution will exist in any case, so a numerical solution is your only option.

opts = odeset('RelTol', 1e-2, 'AbsTol', 1e-4);
[t, x] = ode45(@diffeqn, [0 1], [0.1; .1], opts);
whos
plot(t, x(:,2))
function dxdt = diffeqn(t, x)
a2=3; a3=2; b2=5; b3=2; w=188;
% Check this out
dxdt(1, 1) = x(2);
dxdt(2, 1) = ( (2*a3*w^3*sin(x(2)-w*t))*x(1) + ...
(2*a3*w*sin(x(2)-w*t))*x(1).^3 + ...
(-b2*sin(w*t) - b3*sin(x(2))) ) ./ ...
( 2*a2 -2*a3*w*(2*x(1)+w)*cos(x(2)-w*t) );
end

Can you show what is the problem in 2018b, such as error message?

I did a correction in the code above.

You need to save the code in a file, e.g., testdiff.m. Then run the program testdiff.m
