Dutch Pin

Does anyone know of any existing formulii that can be used to calculate stress concentrations in the so called "dutch pin" that many teams advocate for attaching sprockets to shafts?

I am using this type of pin in a project and need to prove that it is stronger (and how much stronger) than a normal pin.

Thanks,
Patrick
