In the current literature about contact structures many authors express the opinion that contact structures can be used in Hamiltonian and possibly also Lagrangian description of mechanical nonconservative sytems. In this context I will present a contact version of the Tulczyjew triple using the idea that a contact structure is encoded in a certain homogeneous symplectic structure. The theory will be illustrated by examples.
