In this paper, we extend the study of mechanical systems in the general framework of Lie algebroids using the associated evolution nonlinear connections. In the case of the prolongations of a Lie algebroid over the vector bundle projections, we prove the equivalence between a regular section and a mechanical structure. Finally, we justify this construction with an example from optimal control theory.
