Shape optimization problem for rigid stamp interacted with elastic medium is investigated. Additional forces applied to the elastic medium are supposed to be random in considered problem formulation. Probabilistic approach is applied as for formulation as for solution of the optimization problem. As a result the optimal designs of the stamps with circular base are obtained and presented in the paper.
