    Given the current lack of comprehensive research on the mechanism of rock fracturing by high-pressure gas, this study draws upon the research method used to determine peak pressure at the borehole wall in the drilling and blasting method. By analyzing the complete rock fracturing process through the liquid oxygen expansion method, a calculation model for the peak pressure at the borehole wall was derived from the shock tube theory, considering the changes in the rock medium and uncoupling coefficient. Using a dynamic strain tester, a concrete model experiment was conducted to measure the peak pressure at the borehole. Under fixed conditions of a 60 mm expansion tube diameter and four different apertures (75~120 mm), the peak pressure was measured. The test results show that, with the same liquid oxygen equivalent and rock medium conditions, the time to peak pressure increases linearly with the uncoupling coefficient, following the relationship t=230.6k-127.85. As the uncoupling coefficient increases, the peak pressure at the borehole wall decreases gradually, with the attenuation rate gradually slowing. A comparison between the experimental results with the theoretical calculations shows a similar trend in peak pressure attenuation with the uncoupling coefficient, confirming the reliability of the theoretical model.
