The present study deals with a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi-II cosmological models representing massive strings by applying the variation law for generalized Hubble's parameter that yields a constant value of deceleration parameter. We find that the constant value of deceleration parameter is reasonable for the present day universe. The variation law for Hubble's parameter generates two types of solutions for the average scale factor, one is of power-law type and other is of the exponential form. Using these two forms, Einstein's field equations are solved separately that correspond to expanding singular and non-singular models of the universe respectively. The energy-momentum tensor for such string as formulated by Letelier (Phys. Rev. D 28:2414, 1983) is used to construct massive string cosmological models for which we assume that the expansion ( Delta *c) in the model is proportional to the component s1111 of the shear tensor sjiij. This condition leads to A=(BC) m , where A, B and C are the metric coefficients and m is proportionality constant. Our models are in accelerating phase which is consistent to the recent observations. The cosmological constant Delta *L is found to be a decreasing function of time and it approaches a small positive value at present epoch which is in good agreement by the results from recent supernovae observations. Some physical and geometric behaviour of the models are also discussed.
