This study is devoted to some initial boundary value problems for hyperbolic systems and applications to cusped bars models in Vekua approximations. Related papers to this subject belong to the second author [Tr. Inst. Prikl. Mat. Im. I. N. Vekua 29, 5--38 (1988; Zbl 0729.73118); Boundary value problems in (1,0) approximation of a mathematical model of bars, Bull.

TICMI 2, 36--40 (1998)]. The first part of the paper is dedicated to general results regarding the existence and uniqueness in some weighted Hilbert spaces of the strong and weak generalized solution for the mixed problem for a hyperbolic equation of the second order with order degeneration on the lateral part of the boundary and for the mixed problem for a second order hyperbolic system with order degeneration. The second part of the article considers the (0,0) and (1,0) approximations for the cusped bar model , formulates appropriate mixed problems and by applying results from the first part shows conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a solution.
