contents This paper introduces an algorithmic approach to the analysis of Jacobi stability of systems of second order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) via the Kosambi--Cartan--Chern (KCC) theory. We develop an efficient symbolic program using Maple for computing the second KCC invariant for systems of second order ODEs in arbitrary dimension. The program allows us to systematically analyze Jacobi stability of a system of second order ODEs by means of real solving and solution classification using symbolic computation. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by a model of wound strings, a two-dimensional airfoil model with cubic nonlinearity in supersonic flow and a 3-DOF tractor seat-operator model. The computational results on Jacobi stability of these models are further verified by numerical simulations. Moreover, our algorithmic approach allows us to detect hand-guided computation errors in published papers.
