Coefficient $ C_1 $
$$C_1=0.721+2.394\cdot\sqrt{h/r}-0.127\cdot h/r$$
Coefficient $ C_2 $
$$C_2=-0.426-8.827\cdot\sqrt{h/r}+1.518\cdot h/r$$
Coefficient $ C_3 $
$$C_3=2.161+10.968\cdot\sqrt{h/r}-2.455\cdot h/r$$
Coefficient $ C_4 $
$$C_4=-1.456-4.535\cdot\sqrt{h/r}+1.064\cdot h/r$$
The elastic stress concentration factor
$$K_t=C_1+C_2\cdot\left(\cfrac{h}{D}\right)+C_3\cdot\left(\cfrac{h}{D}\right)^2+C_4\cdot\left(\cfrac{h}{D}\right)^3$$
