The result of online ultrasonic detection of wear debris has close relations with acoustic field features of ultrasonic transducer. Online sensor of wear debris in oil is designed by acoustic field features of ultrasonic transducer. Numerical simulation method can effectively analyze the characteristics of ultrasonic sound field. First,online ultrasonic detection method of wear debris is theoretically reviewed. Then,the finite-difference time-domain method( FDTD) is utilized to solve KZK equation for simulating sound field of ultrasonic transducer. Finally,an experimental system is set up for distribution measurement of ultrasonic sound field in lubrication,and ultrasonic acoustic field feature is measured. The results of simulation and experiment show that FDTD' s utilization to solve KZK equation can effectively imitate acoustic field distribution of focused ultrasound transducer in oil. Focal spot of focused ultrasound transducer has an oval shape,and major axis is 4mm and minor axis is 0.4mm. Simulation and experiment show the good consistency. The research builds the foundation for next ultrasonic sensor design of wear debris.
