Rigorous, scientific pocketing?

Was just wondering if anyone is aware of any papers or docs on good pocketing practices that are based on either testing or FEA. "Oh that looks good" or "add more webs" aren't exactly based in any hard fact. In my own experience tweaking with FEA, simply changing the termination point of a web to a different location can allow for much lower stress distributions (and thus longer part life or lower weight).

I do have FEA packages at my personal disposal (SW and ANSYS) to verify my own designs, but I was looking for something that just gives good strategies.
