We have theoretically analyzed the anisotropic (non)linear dynamic response of stiff polymers to external driving fields. A general (time–dependent) criterion is given for the crossover from a universal linear to a nonlinear regime, the latter depending on the type of the driving. Asymptotic scaling laws are extracted from a set of coarse grained equations of motion obtained from a rigorous multiple scale analysis. To determine the precise behavior of a polymer in non–asymptotic and/or mixed scenarios occurring in vitro and in vivo, an efficient numerical algorithm has been developed which solves the corresponding partial integro differential equations.
