Your question is unclear. Kindly elucidate. What is a buffer extension? What part of the elevator is buckling? What is the omega method? Where did you hear about it?

Ok...i make it clear.... Omega method ( for buckling) is calculated with respect to the slender ness ratio of a material & i found that the omega value varied with respect to the material type (ex form steel RM520 omega value is 2.63).. my clarification is how to find the omega value.... what are the variable involing in it apart from the slendernss ratio...
