the physical and mechanical properties of vs the physical and mechanical

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'The physical and mechanical properties of' is used when referring to specific characteristics or attributes of an object or material, while 'the physical and mechanical' is used when discussing these characteristics more generally.
