Abstract
The present study aimed to determine and recognize the physical and mechanical properties as an important role in designing and developing of specific machines and their operations such as planting, harvesting and grading. The physical and mechanical characteristics of Pomegranate seeds were obtained for one variety of Punica granatum. For each of the dimensions, the Pomegranate seeds gave the highest value in width of 13.8± 0.53 mm and lowest value in height of 8.0 ± 0.59mm. The highest value of repose angle was 32.5º for ply wood while the lowest value was 25º for galvanized sheet. The Pomegranate seeds gave the lowest value of static coefficient of friction of 0.29 for ply wood while the highest value was 0.44 for glass.
