We introduce Euler–Lagrange–Herglotz equations on Lie algebroids. The methodology is to extend the Jacobi structure from TQ×R and T∗Q×R to A×R and A∗×R, respectively, where A is a Lie algebroid and A∗ carries the associated Poisson structure. We see that A∗×R possesses a natural Jacobi structure from where we are able to model dissipative mechanical systems on Lie algebroids, generalizing previous models on TQ×R and introducing new ones as for instance for reduced systems on Lie algebras, semidirect products (action Lie algebroids) and Atiyah bundles.
